Question

Assertion : A body having non-zero acceleration can have a constant velocity.
Reason : Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

✓

Answer

(e) As per definition, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, i.e. $\vec{a}=\frac{d \vec{v}}{d t}$.If velocity is constant $d \vec{v} / d t=0, \therefore \vec{a=0$.Therefore, if a body has constant velocity it cannot have non zero acceleration.

Assertion : When the lift moves with uniform velocity the man in the lift will feel weightlessness.
Reason : In downward accelerated motion of lift, apparent weight of a body decreases.

Assertion : The apparent weight of a body in an elevator moving with some downward acceleration is less than the actual weight of body.
Reason : The part of the weight is spent in producing downward acceleration, when body is in elevator.

Assertion : A light body and heavy body have same momentum. Then they also have same kinetic energy.
Reason : Kinetic energy does not depend on mass of the body.

Assertion : If the temperature of a semiconductor is increased then it's resistance decreases.
Reason : The energy gap between conduction band and valence band is very small

Assertion : A rain drop after falling through some height attains a constant velocity.
Reason : At constant velocity, the viscous drag is just equal to its weight.

Reason : The hot wire instrument is based on the principle of magnetic effect of current.

Assertion : The impurities always decrease the surface tension of a liquid.
Reason : The change in surface tension of the liquid depends upon the degree of contamination of the impurity.

Assertion : A rocket works on the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
Reason : Whenever there is a change in momentum of one body, the same change occurs in the momentum of the second body of the same system but in the opposite direction.

Assertion : When an automobile while going too fast around a curve overturns, its inner wheels leave the ground first.
Reason : For a safe turn the velocity of automobile should be less than the value of safe limit velocity.

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.
