PHYSICS: CHAPTER-8 FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION
DIRECTIONS:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Q.1. Assertion : If the net external force on the body is zero, then its acceleration is
zero.
Reason : Acceleration does not depend on force.
Answer: (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
According to Newton’s second law,
force = acceleration x mass
i.e., if net external force on the body is zero (F = 0), then, the acceleration of a body is
also zero.
Q.2. Assertion : A rocket works on the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
Reason : For two bodies system when there is a change in momentum of one body,
the same change occurs in the momentum of the second body but in the opposite
direction.
Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
of assertion.
As the fuel in rocket undergoes combustion, the gases so produced leave the body of
the rocket with large velocity and give upthrust to the rocket. If we assume that the
fuel is burnt at a constant rate, then the rate of change of momentum of the rocket
will be constant. As more and more fuel gets burnt, the mass of the rocket goes on
decreasing and it leads to increase of the velocity of rocket more and more rapidly.
Q.3. Assertion : A quick collision between two bodies is more violent than a slow
collision, even when the
initial and the final velocities are identical.
Reason : Because the rate of change of momentum which determines the force is
greater in the first case.

Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
of assertion.
Q.4. Assertion : When a firefly hits a bus, each of them exerts the same force.
Reason : Firefly has more mass as compared to the windshield.
Answer: (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
Q.5. Assertion : Linear momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic collisions.
Reason : Total energy is conserved in all collisions.
Answer: (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in elastic collisions. Linear
momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions but kinetic energy is not conserved. The
total energy is conserved in all collisions.
Q.6. Assertion : Force required to accelerate a mass in two perpendicular directions is
never same.
Reason : The presence of g will not influence the acceleration.
Answer: (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
Q.7. Assertion : A quick collision between two bodies is more violent than a slow
collision, even when the
initial and the final velocities are identical.
Reason : The rate of change of momentum determines the force.
Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
of assertion.
In quick collision, time of impact is small which increases the impact of force.
Q.8. Assertion : While walking on ice, one should take small steps to avoid slipping.
Reason : This is because smaller steps ensure smaller friction.
Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
of assertion.

Q.9. Assertion : From Newton’s second law of motion, impulse is equal to change in
momentum.
Reason : Impulse and momentum have different SI units.
Answer: (d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
As impulse is equal to change in momentum. Therefore, impulse and momentum
have same SI units.
Q.10. Assertion : Newton’s third law applies to all types of forces. e.g. gravitational,
electric or magnetic forces etc.
Reason : Newton’s third law of motion is applicable only when bodies are in motion.
Answer: (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
According to third law of motion it is impossible to have a single force out of mutual
interaction between two bodies, whether they are moving or at rest. While, Newton’s
third law is applicable for all types of forces.
Q.11. Assertion : A body is momentarily at rest when it reverses the direction.
Reason : A body cannot have acceleration if its velocity is zero at a given instant of
time.
Answer: (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.

bullet and recoil of gun.
Reason : Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
of assertion.
Q.13. Assertion : When astronauts throw something in space, that object would
continue moving in the same
direction and with the same speed.
Reason : The acceleration of an object produced by a net applied force is directly
related to the magnitude
of the force, and inversely related to the mass of the object.
Answer: (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
RAGHUL KRISHNA M B 4 | Science
Q.14. Assertion : A large number of concurrent forces acting at the same point of the
object, then the object will be in equilibrium, if sum of all the forces is equal to zero.

external force on the particle is non-zero.
Answer: (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
Q.15. Assertion : When we sit on a chair, our body exerts a force downward and that
chair needs to exert an equal force upward or the chair will collapse.

Q.17. Assertion : Force exerted by the ground on the man moves him forward.
Reason : It is a reactional force.
Answer: (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
Q.18. Assertion : Mass is a measure of inertia of the body in linear motion.
Reason : Greater the mass, greater is the force required to change its state of rest or
motion.
Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
of assertion.
According to Newton’s second law of motion, F =ma i.e., magnitude of the
acceleration produced by a given force is inversely proportional to the mass of the
body. Higher is the mass of the body, lesser will be the acceleration produced i.e.,
mass of the body is a measure of the opposition offered by the body to change a
state, when the force is applied i.e., mass of a body is the measure of its inertia.

Q.20. Assertion : A boy facing forward in a moving bus throws a ball straight up. At
the same instant the bus begins to accelerate. The ball goes up and falls in front of the
boy.
Reason : As the ball rises, velocity remains constant.
Answer: (d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Only the horizontal component of velocity of the ball remains unchanged. When the
ball rises the vertical component of velocity keeps on decreasing. During this time the
bus accelerates out under the ball. To the boy the ball appears to go over his head.
The ball, therefore, falls behind him.

Xylem and phloem are vascular tissues that conduct water, minerals and food to
various parts of plants. Vascular tissue is a distinctive feature of the complex plants,
one that has made their survival in terrestrial environment possible.
Q.3.
Assertion : The inner lining of intestine has tall epithelial cells.
Reason : Columnar epithelium facilitates absorption and secretion.
Answer:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
Where absorption and secretion occur, such as in the inner lining of the intestine, tall
epithelial cells or columnar epithelium is present. This epithelium facilitates
movement or diffusion across the epithelial barrier.
Q.4.
Assertion : Permanent tissue is composed of mature cells.
Reason : Meristematic tissue is a group of actively dividing cells.
Answer:
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
A meristematic tissue is a group of cells that are in a continuous state of division or
retain their power of division. Permanent tissues are composed of mature cells that,
after undergoing complete growth, have assumed a definite shape, size and function
and have temporarily or permanently lost the power of division.
Q.5. Assertion : Most of plant tissues are dead.

(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
The function of the cilia is to move particles, free cells or mucus in a specific direction.
It is present in inner surfaces of some hollow organs such as Fallopian tubes,
bronchioles and small bronchi and help in movement of the particles present there.
Thus, the function of ciliated epithelium (as it possesses cilia) is the movement of
particles.
Q.7.
Assertion : Meristematic tissues constitute the major portion of the plant body.

Answer:
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Meristematic tissues, after differentiation, give rise to permanent tissues. These
constitute the major portion of the plant body.
Q.8.
Assertion : Surface of skin is impervious to water.
Reason : Surface of skin is covered by stratified cuboidal epithelium.
Answer:
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
Surface of skin is impervious to water because it is covered by stratified keratinized
squamous epithelium. This epithelium has many superficial layers of horny, scale- like
remains of dead squamous cells and several deeper layers of living polygonal cells.
Heavy deposits of the insoluble protein keratin are present in the dead superficial
layers which makes this epithelium impervious to water. Stratified cuboidal
epithelium, on the other hand, lines the inner surface of sweat gland, large salivary
and pancreatic ducts.
