Directions: In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given and a corresponding statement
of Reason is given just below it. Of the statements, given below, mark the correct answer as:
(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.

1. Assertion: If the net external force on the body is zero, then its acceleration is zero.
Reason: Acceleration does not depend on force.

2. Assertion: When a firefly hits a bus, each of them exerts the same force.
Reason: Firefly has more mass as compared to the windshield.

2. Name the unbalanced force that stops a ball rolling on the ground?

3. Name the property of bodies due to which they resist change in their state of rest or state of uniform
motion along a straight line?

4. On what factor does the inertia of a body depend?

5. The masses of two objects are 2 kg and 20 kg .Which body has greater inertia?

6. What is the other name for Newton’s first law of motion?

7. When the branch of a tree is shaken, its fruits fall down. Give reason.

8. Why does a person in a bus tend to fall forward when it stops suddenly?

10. Sometimes a person thrown out of the bus when the driver takes a sharp turn. Why?

11. Plot a graph between force applied on a body and the acceleration produced in the given mass,
assuming that the magnitude of force is constantly changing.
