MCQ
Assertion (A): A quick collision between two bodies is more violent than slow collision, even when initial and final velocities are identical.
Reason (R): The rate of change of momentum determines that the force is small or large.
  • 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.

Assertion: If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium in one frame, they will be in thermal equilibrium in all frames.
Reason: The transfer of energy from a hot body to a cold body is a non mechanical process, i.e., the energy is transferred from one body to the other, without any mechanical work.
Assertion: In an isochoric process, work done by the gas is zero.
Reason: In a process, if initial volume is equal to the final volume, work done by the gas is zero.
Assertion: It is not possible for a system, unaided by an external agency to transfer heat from a body at lower temperature to another body at a higher temperature.
Reason: According to Clausius statement “No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a cooled object to a hotter object.”
Assertion (A): Efficiency of a Carnot engine increases on reducing the temperature of sink.
Reason (R): The efficiency of a Carnot engine is defined as ratio of net mechanical work done per cycle by the gas to the amount of heat energy absorbed per cycle from the source.
Assertion: An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of the earth. If the gravitational pull suddenly disappears, then it moves with the same speed tangential to the original orbit.
Reason: The orbital speed of a satellite decreases with the increase in radius of the orbit.
Assertion (A): The force of attraction due to a hollow spherical shell of uniform density, on a point mass situated inside it is zero.
Reason (R): Various region of the spherical shell attract the point mass inside it in various directions. These forces cancel each other completely.
Assertion (A): Mass and energy are not conserved separately, but are conserved as a single entity called mass energy. 
Reason (R): Mass and energy conservation can be obtained by Einstein equation for energy.
Assertion (A): A force act upon the earth revolving in a circular orbit about the sun. Hence work should be done on the earth.
Reason (R): The necessary centripetal force for the circular motion of the earth, comes from the gravitational force between earth and the sun.
Assertion (A): Two springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are stretched by the same force. If $k_1>k_2$, then work done in stretching the first $\left( W _1\right)$ is less than work done in stretching the second $\left( W _2\right)$.
Reason ( R ): $F = k _1 x _1= k _2 x _2$
Assertion (A): Generally the path of a projectile from the earth is parabolic but it is elliptical for projectiles going to a very large height.
Reason (R): The path of a projectile is independent of the gravitational force of earth.
