NEET Physics Speed & Velocity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): When the velocity of a particle in motion decreases, the acceleration is always negative.
Reason (R): The sign of acceleration indicates the change in speed of the particle.
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 NCERT context states that the sign of acceleration does not directly indicate whether the speed is increasing or decreasing. Thus, a negative acceleration does not always imply a decrease in velocity, making assertion A false.
