Question
Assertion : Reversible systems are difficult to find in real world.
Reason : Most processes are dissipative in nature

Answer

(a) In a perfectly reversible system, there is no loss of energy. Losses can be minimised, friction can be reduced, the resistance in L-C oscillating system can also be negligible. But one cannot completely eliminate energy losses. This makes a perfectly reversible system, an ideal.

Assertion : In adiabatic compression, the internal energy and temperature of the system get decreased.
Reason : The adiabatic compression is a slow process
Assertion : The acceleration of a body down a rough inclined plane is greater than the acceleration due to gravity.
Reason : The body is able to slide on a inclined plane only when its acceleration is greater than acceleration due to gravity.
Assertion : Relative velocity of $A$ w.r.t. $B$ is greater than the velocity of either, when they are moving in opposite directions.
Reason : Relative velocity of $A$ w.r.t. $B=\vec{v}_A-\vec{v}_B$
Assertion : If an earth satellite moves to a lower orbit, there is some dissipation of energy but the satellite speed increases.
Reason : The speed of satellite is a constant quantity.
Assertion : The electrical conductivity of earth's atmosphere decreases with altitude.
Reason : The high energy particles (i.e. $\gamma$-rays and cosmic rays) coming from outer space and entering our earth's atmosphere cause ionisation of the atoms of the gases present there and the pressure of gases decreases with increase in altitude.
Assertion : Avogadro number is the number of atoms in one gram mole.
Reason  : Avogadro number is a dimensionless constant.
