Physics-Circular Motion Dynamics

NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11

Assertion (A): A cyclist can safely take a sharp circular turn on a level road without slipping if the speed is sufficiently low. | Reason (R): On an unbanked road, frictional force alone can provide the necessary centripetal force needed for circular motion.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context explains that frictional force provides the centripetal force on an unbanked road, allowing a cyclist to take turns safely at low speeds.
