QUES12) A body starts to slide over a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 0.5 m/s.
Due body to stop?
ANS )Initial velocity, u = 0.5 m/s
Final velocity, v= 0
Acceleration, a = -0.05 m/s2
Now, from the first equation of the motion,
v = u + at
or, 0 = 0.5 + (- 0.05t) ⇒ 0.5 = 0.05t,
∴ t = 0.5/0.05 = 10 s
Thus, the body will take 10 s to stop.

ASSERTION AND REASON:-
a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Q.1. Assertion : An object may acquire acceleration even if it is moving at a constant
speed.
Reason : With change in the direction of motion, an object can acquire acceleration.
Q.2. Assertion : Displacement of an object may be zero even if the distance covered by it
is not zero.
Reason : Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position.
Q.3. Assertion : The graph between two physical quantities P and Q is straight line, when
P/Q is constant.
Reason : The straight line graph means that P is proportional to Q or P is equal to
constant multiplied by Q.
Q.4. Assertion : Velocity versus time graph of a particle in uniform motion along a
straight path is a line parallel to the time axis.
Reason : In uniform motion the velocity of a particle increases as the square of the time
elapsed.
Q.5. Assertion : the speedometer of a car measures the instantaneous speed of the car.
Reason : Average speed is equal to the total distance covered by an object divided by the
total time taken.
