NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): The potential energy of a spring at maximum compression is equal to the kinetic energy of a moving object that compresses it. | Reason (R): The conservation of mechanical energy states that total energy in an isolated system remains constant.
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
The NCERT context mentions that at maximum compression, the potential energy of the spring equals the kinetic energy of the moving object due to conservation of mechanical energy.
