NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): In a steady flow, the streamline at any point is tangent to the velocity of fluid particle at that point. | Reason (R): The kinetic energy change of the fluid in a streamline flow is independent of gravitational potential energy change.
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 C
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as a streamline is defined as a curve tangential to the velocity of the fluid particle. The reason is false because changes in kinetic energy are considered alongside gravitational potential energy changes in the work-energy theorem.
