Answer:

Both assertion and reasoning are true and reasoning is the correct explanation for the assertion.

Explanation:

This is because when a gun is fired, it exerts a forward force on the bullet. The bullet inturn exerts an equal and opposite force on the gun which results in the recoil of the gun.

According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, " Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

From this, we get to know that the "RECOIL OF THE GUN" is an example that satisfies Newton's 3rd law of motion.

Hope this helps you!! please do mark me as BRAINLIEST!!

O a. Both assertion and reason are correct statements and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

  • It is generally observed that when a bullet gets fired there's a backward movement experienced by the shooter. This is known as the recoiling of guns.
  • Scientifically, the recoiling of guns happens due to the conservation of momentum.
  • Hence, When a bullet is fired from a gun, there is a forward force on the bullet and recoil of the gun. Given assertion is true.
  • According to Newton's third law of motion, To every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Hence, the forward force experienced by the bullet is always equal to the recoil of the gun and in opposite direction.
  • Therefore, Both assertion and reason are correct statements and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
