‭ or‬ ‭Q.No.(s)‬ ‭9‬ ‭to‬ ‭15,‬ ‭Two‬ ‭statements,‬ ‭one‬ ‭labelled‬ ‭as‬ ‭Assertion‬ ‭(A)‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭other‬
F
‭Reason (R) are given. Select the correct option from the following:‬
‭(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, but R is true.‬

‭9.‬ ‭ ssertion (A): A ball set rolling on the ground stops after some time.‬
A
‭Reason‬‭(R):‬‭This‬‭is‬‭due‬‭to‬‭the‬‭unbalanced‬‭force‬‭of‬‭friction‬‭between‬‭the‬‭ball‬‭and‬
‭the ground.‬

‭10.‬ A ‭ ssertion‬‭(A):‬‭An‬‭unbalanced‬‭force‬‭is‬‭required‬‭to‬‭move‬‭a‬‭body‬‭uniformly‬‭along‬‭a‬
‭circle.‬
‭Reason‬ ‭(R):‬ ‭When‬‭the‬‭motion‬‭is‬‭uniform‬‭along‬‭a‬‭fixed‬‭direction,‬‭its‬‭acceleration‬
‭is zero.‬

‭11.‬ A ‭ ssertion‬ ‭(A):‬ ‭While‬ ‭catching‬ ‭a‬ ‭fast‬ ‭moving‬ ‭cricket‬ ‭ball,‬ ‭a‬ ‭fielder‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭ground‬
‭gradually pulls his hands backwards with the moving ball.‬
‭Reason‬ ‭(R):‬ ‭In‬ ‭doing‬ ‭so,‬ ‭the‬ ‭fielder‬ ‭increases‬ ‭the‬ ‭time‬ ‭during‬ ‭which‬ ‭the‬ ‭high‬
‭velocity‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭moving‬ ‭ball‬ ‭decreases‬ ‭to‬ ‭zero.‬ ‭Thus‬ ‭the‬ ‭impact‬ ‭of‬ ‭catching‬ ‭the‬
‭fast moving ball is also reduced.‬

‭12.‬ A ‭ ssertion‬‭(A):‬‭When‬‭a‬‭striker‬‭hits‬‭at‬‭the‬‭bottom‬‭of‬‭a‬‭pile‬‭of‬‭coins,‬‭the‬‭coin‬‭at‬‭the‬
‭bottom comes out without disturbing the other coins.‬
‭Reason (R): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.‬

 ‭13.‬ A ‭ ssertion‬‭(A):‬‭A‬‭truck‬‭at‬‭rest‬‭does‬‭not‬‭require‬‭any‬‭attention‬‭when‬‭parked‬‭along‬‭a‬
‭roadside.‬ ‭But‬ ‭a‬‭moving‬‭truck,‬‭even‬‭at‬‭low‬‭speeds,‬‭may‬‭kill‬‭a‬‭person‬‭standing‬‭in‬
‭its path.‬
‭Reason‬‭(R):‬‭If‬‭an‬‭object‬‭is‬‭to‬‭be‬‭accelerated,‬‭a‬‭greater‬‭force‬‭is‬‭required‬‭to‬‭give‬‭a‬
‭greater velocity.‬

‭14.‬ A ‭ ssertion‬‭(A):‬‭A‬‭truck‬‭at‬‭rest‬‭does‬‭not‬‭require‬‭any‬‭attention‬‭when‬‭parked‬‭along‬‭a‬
‭roadside.‬ ‭But‬ ‭a‬‭moving‬‭truck,‬‭even‬‭at‬‭low‬‭speeds,‬‭may‬‭kill‬‭a‬‭person‬‭standing‬‭in‬
‭its path.‬
‭Reason‬‭(R):‬‭If‬‭an‬‭object‬‭is‬‭to‬‭be‬‭accelerated,‬‭a‬‭greater‬‭force‬‭is‬‭required‬‭to‬‭give‬‭a‬
‭greater velocity.‬

‭15.‬ A ‭ ssertion‬‭(A):‬‭A‬‭force‬‭that‬‭is‬‭just‬‭enough‬‭to‬‭cause‬‭a‬‭small‬‭cart‬‭to‬‭pick‬‭up‬‭a‬‭large‬
‭velocity will produce a negligible change in the motion of a train.‬
‭Reason (R): The train has more inertia than the cart.‬
