NEET Physics Uniform & Non-uniform Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): For a freely falling object, the time taken to rise to the maximum height is equal to the time taken to descend back to the original position.
Reason (R): The kinematic equations of motion for constant acceleration are symmetrical for upward and downward paths.
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 kinematic equations indicate that the motion is symmetric when acceleration is constant, such as gravity. The time to rise equals the time to fall for the same distance.
