STANDARD Physics Acceleration Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: A particle may be momentarily at rest and yet have non-zero acceleration. Reason: The zero velocity of a particle at any instant does not necessarily imply zero acceleration at that instant.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation off assertion.
It assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A particle can be momentarily at rest, such as at the top of its trajectory when thrown upwards, but still have non-zero acceleration due to gravity. The reason correctly explains that zero velocity does not imply zero acceleration.
