NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics Assertion Reason Question
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.
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.
Correct Answer
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.
