NEET Physics Work-Energy Theorem Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The work done by friction is always negative.
Reason (R): The angle between frictional force and displacement is 180 degrees.
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
According to the NCERT context, the frictional force opposes displacement, making the angle 180 degrees, resulting in negative work (cos 180° = -1).
