Assertion and Reason type Questions:
Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as

Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required
to choose any one of the following four responses.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct
explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct
explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
14. Assertion : A work done by friction is always negative.

Reason : If frictional force acts on a body its K.E. may decrease.
15. Assertion : A spring has potential energy, both when it is

compressed or stretched.
Reason : In compressing or stretching, work is done on the spring
against the restoring force.
16. Assertion : A force applied on the body always does work on the
body.
Reason : If a force applied on a body displaces the body along the
direction of force work done will be maximum.
17. Assertion : A man rowing a boat upstream is at rest with respect to

the bank. He is doing no external work.
Reason : Work done by constant force, W = F s cosθ.
18. Assertion : The work done in moving a body over a closed loop is
zero for every force in nature.
Reason : Work done depends on nature of force.
19. Assertion: The rate of change of total momentum of a many particle

system is proportional to the sum of the internal forces of the system.
Reason: Internal forces can change the kinetic energy but not the
momentum of the system.
20. Assertion: The change in kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the
work done on it by the net force.
Reason: Change in kinetic energy of particle is equal to work done
only in case of a system of one particle.
21. Assertion: Kinetic energy of a system can be increased or decreased

without applying any external force on the system.
Reason: This is because K.E. =mV2/2, so it independent of any
external forces.
22. Assertion: Kinetic energy of a body is quadrupled, when its velocity

is doubled.
Reason: Kinetic energy is proportional to square of velocity. If
velocity is doubled the K.E. will be quadrupled
23. Assertion: If the velocity of a body is tripled, then K.E. becomes

9 times.
Reason: Kinetic energy, K.E.= mv2/2
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS :

A collision occurs when two objects come in contact with each other.
Collision is of two types
Elastic collision: When there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system
as a result of a collision, it is called an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision: When there is a loss of kinetic energy after the collision,
it is called an inelastic collision. The lost kinetic energy is transformed into
thermal energy, sound energy and deformation of the material.

applied during a collision between two particles provided the time of
impact is
a. Moderately small
b. Extremely large
c. Extremely small
d. Depends on a particular case
25.In an elastic collision of two particles the following is conserved
a. Speed of each particle

b. Kinetic energy of each particle
c. Total kinetic energy of both the particles
d. Momentum of each particle
26. A shell initially at rest explodes into two pieces of equal mass, then the
two pieces will
a. Move with different velocities in different directions

b. Be at rest
c. Move with the same velocity in the same direction
d. Move with the same velocity in opposite directions
27. When two bodies collide elastically, then
a. Kinetic energy of the system alone is conserved

b. Only momentum is conserved
c. Both energy and momentum are conserved
d. Neither energy nor momentum is conserved
28. The coefficient of restitution for a perfectly elastic collision is
a. 1
b. 0
c. ∞
d. -1

its path with the same speed. The change in momentum is (take the initial
direction of the velocity as positive)
a. 2 Mv
b. 1 Mv
c. -2 Mv
d. Zero

The part having mass m/4 remains stationary. The velocity of the
shell will be
a. (4/3)v
b. V
c. 2v
d. 3/4 v
31. A ball B1of mass m is moving with a velocity v along north. It collides
with another ball B2 of same mass moving with a velocity v along
east. After the collision, both the balls stick together and move along
north east. The velocity of the combination is
(a) V / √2
(b) V√2
(c) 2V
(d) V
