MCQ
$Assertion :$ The amplitude of an oscillating pendulum decreases gradually with time
$Reason :$ The frequency of the pendulum decreases with time.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
The amplitude of an oscillating pendulum decreases with time due to friction of air. In absence of air, its frequency and amplitude will remain constant.

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?
A block of mass $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ is pushed up a surface inclined to horizontal at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ by a force of $10 \mathrm{~N}$ parallel to the inclined surface as shown in figure.
