9. Assertion (A) : Motion of moon around the earth is a non-uniform motion.

Reason (R) : The size of moon is smaller than that of the Earth

10. Assertion (A) : A body cannot move on a circular path without any acceleration.
Reason (R): In Uniform circular motion, the velocity of the body remains constant.
