Physics-Circular Motion Dynamics
NEET Physics Circular Motion Dynamics Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): In circular motion, the centripetal force is always directed towards the center of the circle. | Reason (R): The centripetal force is provided by static friction in the motion of a car on a flat circular track.
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.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true. A describes the nature of centripetal force in circular motion, while R correctly identifies static friction as the source of centripetal force for a car on a flat circular track. However, R does not explain why centripetal force is directed towards the center.
