Multiple Choice Questions
For the following questions, two statements are given one labelled Assertion (A) and the
other labelled Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as
given below.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false and R is also false.
1. Assertion: A passenger standing in a moving bus falls backward when the bus
suddenly starts.
Reason: Due to inertia of rest, the lower part of the body moves with the bus while
the upper part tends to remain at rest.
2. Assertion: To keep a body in the circular path, a force is required.
Reason: Inertia is an inherent property of a body.
3. Assertion: The slope of momentum versus time curve represents the force.
Reason: According to Newton's second law of motion acceleration is given by the
rate of change of momentum.
4. Assertion: The large brake on a bicycle wheel is more effective than a small one.
Reason: Frictional force depends on area of contact.
5. Assertion: Sudden motion of blanket removes dust.
Reason: Dust particles possess inertia of rest.
