26. Assertion : A rocket works on the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

27.

28. Assertion Product of mass and velocity (i.e. momentum) is basic to the effect of force on motion.
Reason Same force for same time causes the same change in momentum for different bodies.
29. Assertion It is always necessary that external agency of force is in contact with the object while applying force on
object.
Reason A stone released from top of a building accelerates downward due to gravitational pull of the earth.
