AIIMS 2017 Physics Vertical Loops Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Assertion: For looping a vertical loop of radius rr, the minimum velocity at the lowest point should be 5gr\sqrt{5gr}.

Reason: In this even the velocity at the highest point will be zero.

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.

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

In a vertical loop, the velocity of an object at the highest point is not zero; instead, it must be sufficient to provide the necessary centripetal force to counteract gravitational force. Therefore, while the assertion may be true, the reason provided is false, making option D the correct choice. Other options may incorrectly assert that both the assertion and reason are true or that both are false, which misrepresents the dynamics of motion in a vertical loop. Understanding the relationship between gravitational force and centripetal force is crucial in analyzing motion in circular paths.
