NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): The direction of velocity at any point on the path of an object is tangential to the path at that point. | Reason (R): As ∆t approaches zero, the change in position vector ∆r approaches zero and is along the tangent to the path.
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, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The assertion and reason are both true. As per the given NCERT context, the direction of velocity at any point is indeed tangential to the path, and this is explained by ∆r being along the tangent as ∆t approaches zero.
