NEET Physics Speed & Velocity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The average velocity of a particle over a time interval approaches the instantaneous velocity as the interval becomes infinitesimally small.
Reason (R): The average velocity is the slope of the x-t graph over the interval, which becomes the tangent to the graph at a point as the interval shrinks.
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 discusses how the average velocity approaches the instantaneous velocity as the time interval decreases, supporting both the assertion and reason.
