NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In circular motion, the centripetal force is a specific type of force that acts towards the center of the circle. | Reason (R): Centripetal force can be a result of various material forces like tension or gravitational force.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
