$Assertion$ : Mountain roads rarely go straight up the slope.
$Reason$ : Slope of mountains are large, therefore more chances of vehicle to slip from roads

A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
a Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. If roads of the mountain were to go straight up, the slope $\left( \theta \right)$ would have been large, the frictional force $\left( {\mu mg\,\cos \,\theta } \right)$ would be small. Due to small friction, wheels of vehicle would slip. Also for going up a large slope, a greater power shall be required.

In the figure, a block of weight $60\, N$ is placed on a rough surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surfaces is $0.5$. ........ $N$ should be the maximum weight $W$ such that the block does not slip on the surface .
A motorcycle is going on an overbridge of radius $R$. The driver maintains a constant speed. As the motorcycle is ascending on the overbridge, the normal force on it
A block of mass $10 \,kg$ is released on rough incline plane. Block start descending with acceleration $2 \,m / s ^2$. Kinetic friction force acting on block is ..... $N$ (take $g=10 \,m / s ^2$ )
A bullet of mass $4\,g$ is fired horizontally with a speed of $300\,m/s$ into $0.8\,kg$ block of wood at rest on a table. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the table is $0.3,$ how far will the block slide approximately?
On a railway curve, the outside rail is laid higher than the inside one so that resultant force exerted on the wheels of the rail car by the tops of the rails will
A car is negotiating a curved road of radius $R$. The road is banked at an angle $\theta .$ The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is $\mu _s.$ The maximum safe velocity on this road is
