Assertion - Reason Type Questions
1.
A : If A B , then | A B | | A B | .
R : If A B , then ( A B ) is perpendicular to A B .
A : The addition of two vectors P and Q is commutative.
R : By triangle law of vector addition we can prove P Q Q P .
A : Horizontal range of a projectile is always same for angle of projection with horizontal or with vertical.
R : Horizontal range depends only on angle of projection.
A : In the case of ground to ground projection of a projectile from ground the angle of projection with horizontal is
= 30. There is no point on its path such that instantaneous velocity is normal to the initial velocity.
R : Maximum deviation of the projectile is 2 = 60.
A : Three vectors having magnitudes 10, 10 and 25 cannot produce zero resultant.
R : If three vectors are producing zero resultant, then sum of magnitude of any two is more than or equal to
magnitude of third and difference is less than or equal to the magnitude of third.
