 Assertion-Reason Type questions
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
reason (R). Mark the correct choice as
(a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
(c) If assertion is true but reason is false
(d) If both assertion and reason are false.

Q.7 Assertion : A body can have acceleration even if its velocity is zero at a given instant of time.

Reason : A body is momentarily at rest when it reverses its direction of motion.

Q.8 Assertion : A positive acceleration of a body can be associated with slowing down of the
body.

Reason : Acceleration is a vector quantity.

Q.9 CASE STUDY: WORK DONE BY A FORCE ( SCALAR OR VECTOR)

Work is a measure of the energy transfer that occurs from or to an object when an external force
applied moves the object over a distance. For a work to be done there must be a force exerted
and there should be displacement in the direction of the force. From this, we can define work as
the dot product of the component of force in the direction of the force and the magnitude of the
force. W= F.d Here, W = Work F = force d = displacement Both force and displacement are
vector quantities. That means force and displacement have both magnitude and direction. Since
work is a product of force and displacement “Is work a Vector or Scalar?”. Work is nothing but
the energy generated. Work has only a magnitude but no direction. The formula for work is
written as a dot product of force and displacement. Therefore, work is a scalar quantity.

Q. (a) A force of 10 N acting at an angle of 30 degree with horizontal on a body lying on smooth ground,
displaces it through a distance of 5 m. Work done in this case in Nm is

(i)50

(iii) 100

(iv)none of these
Q(b) What should be the angle between force and displacement to get maximum work?

(i) 30o
(ii) 60o
(iii) Zero
(iv) 90o

Q.(c) What should be the angle between force and displacement to get minimum( zero) work?

(i) 30o

(ii)60o

(iii) zero

(iv)90o

Q. (d) What should be the angle between force and displacement to get half the maximum work?

(i) 30o

(ii)60o

(iii) 90o

(iv)45o

Q10- A body travels along a straight line along positive x-axis . It covers the first half of the total distance

with velocity V1 and the second half with velocity V 2. Find the average velocity.

Q11- Show that it is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. ( draw its vector diagram)

Q12- Derive the third equation of motion ( v2 - u2 = 2aS ) by calculus method .

Q13- A particle starts from the origin at t = 0 with a velocity of 10.0ĵ m/s and moves in

the x- y plane with a constant acceleration of (8.0 i + 2.0 j ) m/s2 .

i) At what time is the x co-ordinate of the particle 16m.

ii) What is the y co-ordinate of the particle at that time.
Q14- A ball is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of 100m/s. After how much time will it return?

Draw the V-t graph for the ball and find from the graph a) Maximum height attained by the ball

b) Height of the ball after 15s

Q15- Two towns A and B are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction

every T min. A man cycling with a speed of 20Km/hr in the direction of A to B notices that a bus

goes past him every 18min. in the direction of his motion and every 6min. in the opposite direction.

What is the period T of the bus service and with what speed(assumed constant) do the buses ply on

the road?

Q16- A person is standing on a road with his open umbrella at 300 with the vertical to save

himself from wetting. Then he throws his umbrella and starts running at 5km/hr. Now he

finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. Find the speed of the rain-drops w.r.t

a)Road b) The moving person

OR
