NEET Physics Projectile Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The horizontal component of a projectile's velocity remains constant throughout its motion.
Reason (R): The horizontal motion and vertical motion of a projectile are independent of each other.
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 text explains that the motions in x- and y-directions can be treated independently, leading to the horizontal component of velocity remaining constant.
