Question

1. Assertion (A): A body may have velocity and displacement in the opposite directions
Reason (R): Velocity is distance travelled by the body in a unit time.
a) A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation for A
c) A is correct but R is incorrect.
(d) Both A and R are incorrect.​

Answer 1

ANSWER :

c) A is correct but R is incorrect.

Explanation :

A is correct because velocity & displacement can be in opposite direction. For example, SHM.

R is incorrect because velocity is the displacement of a body in a unit time interval.

Answer 2

Assertion(A):TRUE

• the velocity would definitely be in same direction as the net acceleration if the body was initially at rest.
• so, the body may have velocity and displacement in the opposite directions.

Reason(R):FALSE

• Velocity is distance travelled by the body in a unit time.

• VELOCITY = DISPLACEMENT

TIME

C) A is correct but B is incorrect.
