NEET Physics Impulse & Momentum Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): When a ball strikes a wall and bounces back, the impulse imparted to the ball is equal to the change in its momentum.
Reason (R): Impulsive forces act over a short duration but cause a significant change in momentum.
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
Both the assertion and reason are true. The impulse is defined as the product of force and time duration, which is equal to the change in momentum, as stated in the NCERT context.
