NEET Physics Friction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Friction is necessary to maintain uniform motion of a body on a horizontal plane.
Reason (R): In the absence of friction, a body will continue to move with constant velocity without any external force applied.
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
In the absence of friction, a body moves with constant velocity without needing an external force, making Assertion (A) false. Reason (R) is true as per the NCERT context.
