Assertion.

(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

3. Assertion: At the microscopic level, all bodies are made up of charged constituents (like nuclei
and electrons) and various contact forces exist between them.
Reason: These forces are due to elasticity of bodies, molecular collisions and impacts, etc.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

4. Assertion: If force is not parallel to the velocity of the body, but makes some angle with it, it
changes the component of velocity along the direction of force.
Reason: The component of velocity normal to the force remains unchanged.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

5. Assertion: If we consider system of two bodies A and B as a whole, FAB and FBA are internal
forces of the system (A+B). They add to give a null force.
Reason: Internal forces in a body or a system of particles cancel away in pairs.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

6. Assertion: Newton's third law of motion is applicable only when bodies are in motion.
Reason: Newton's third law applies to all types of forces, e.g. gravitational, electric or magnetic
forces, etc.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
 (d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

7. Assertion: Product of mass and velocity (i.e. momentum) is basic to the effect of force on
motion.
Reason: Same force for same time causes the same change in momentum for different bodies.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

8. Assertion: It is always necessary that external agency of force is in contact with the object
while applying force on object.
Reason: A stone released from top of a building accelerates downward due to gravitational pull
of the earth.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
