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 and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

(d) If both assertion and reason are false.
13. Assertion: In javelin throw, the athlete throws the projectile at an angle slightly more than 450.
Reason: The maximum range does not depend upon angle of projection.

necessary centripetal force.

Reason: The total energy of an isolated system is conserved.
CASE ST TUDY BA ASED QUE ESTIONS S: (Questiions 16 tot 20)
PARAGR RAPH: C Consider an isolateed system m of n interacting pparticles.. The muttual forcees betweeen
pairs off particless in the sy
ystem cau
use changges in momenta off the indiv vidual parrticles. By
y third law
w,
the muttual forces betweeen any paair of partticles are equal and oppositte. By seccond law, The chan nge in
momentta for anyy pair of particles
p aare Ft and  F t . Thus tthe momentum ch hanges caancel in paairs
and totaal momen ntum of th he system
m remainss constan nt. This leads to a fundamen
f ntal princciple of phhysics
called thhe law of conservaation of linear mom mentum. This law states th hat the tottal linear momentum of
an isolated systeem of inteeracting pparticles is conservved. The rrecoil of a gun on ffiring, exp

bomb in nto differeent fragm ments duee to intern
nal forcess, the worrking of rockets

nd jet planes, etc; can

be explaained on tthe basis of momeentum con nservatioon.
