NEET Physics Projectile Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): For a projectile launched from the origin, the path followed by the projectile is parabolic.
Reason (R): The motion in horizontal and vertical directions for a projectile can be treated as two separate simultaneous one-dimensional motions 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 states that the projectile's path is obtained by eliminating time between x and y expressions, showing its parabolic nature. The independent motion in x and y directions explains the parabolic trajectory.
