12. Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body is
associated with a slowing down of a body.
Reason: Acceleration is vector quantity.
13. Assertion: Motion with uniform velocity is
always along a straight line path.
Reason: In such a motion speed is the
magnitude of the velocity and is equal to the
instantaneous velocity.
14. Assertion: When an object returns to its initial
position, its displacement is zero, but the
distance covered is not zero.
Reason: It means that its average velocity and
average speed are both zero.
15. Assertion: The accelerated motion of an
object may be due to change in magnitude of
velocity or direction of velocity or both.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by
change in the magnitude of the velocity.
16. Assertion: Displacement of an object is the
algebraic sum of the area under velocity-time
