NEET Physics Relative Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The velocity of an object A relative to object B is given by the vector subtraction of their individual velocities.
Reason (R): Relative velocity in two dimensions depends solely on the magnitude of the velocities of the objects involved.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because relative velocity is determined by subtracting vectors of the velocities. However, the reason is false as relative velocity depends on both magnitude and direction.
