NEET Physics Projectile Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are independent of each other. | Reason (R): The position of a projectile at any time t can be described using separate equations for x and y directions with constant acceleration.
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 context explains that motions in x- and y-directions can be treated independently with constant acceleration, which is why A and R are both true, and R explains A.
