NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): The average velocity of an object can be calculated as the arithmetic mean of its initial and final velocities over a time interval. | Reason (R): The average velocity is determined by the change in position over the time interval.
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 B
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true. However, the arithmetic mean of initial and final velocities applies only to uniformly accelerated motion. The reason statement correctly describes the general formula for average velocity as the change in position over time.
