NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): The slope of a velocity-time graph gives the acceleration of an object. | Reason (R): The acceleration at an instant is the slope of the tangent to the v-t curve at that instant.
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.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. The slope of the velocity-time graph indeed represents acceleration, and instantaneous acceleration is the slope of the tangent to the v-t curve.
