NEET Physics Impulse & Momentum Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): When a large force acts for a short duration, it can cause a significant change in momentum. | Reason (R): Impulse is the product of force and time duration, which equals the 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
The NCERT context explains that impulse, which is the product of force and time, results in a change in momentum. Thus, a large force acting briefly can produce a significant momentum change.
