a)Is perpendicular to the plane of the surface in which it moves
b)Along the plane of motion c)Inclined at any angle with the plane d)Has no particular direction

7 Assertion: The moment of inertia of a body depends on its shape and mass distribution.
Reason: Moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to rotational motion and is influenced
by both its mass distribution and shape.
8 Assertion: The angular momentum of an object is conserved when no external torques act on it.
Reason: Angular momentum is the product of the moment of inertia and angular velocity, and any
change in these quantities leads to a change in angular momentum.
