NEET Physics Impulse & Momentum Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Impulse is a vector quantity and is equal to the change in momentum.
Reason (R): The magnitude of impulse is the product of the average force and the time duration the force acts.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and reason are true. Impulse is defined as the product of force and time duration, which is equivalent to the change in momentum, and it is a vector quantity as described in the NCERT context.
