Assertion: Kepler's second law can be understood by conservation of angular momentum principle.
Reason: Kepler's second law is related with areal velocity which can further be proved to be based on conservation of angular momentum as (dA/dt) = ( r2ω / 2 )
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false
The change in the gravitational potential energy when a body of mass m is raised to a height nR above the surface of the earth is ( here R is the radius of the earth )
nn + 1 mgR
nn - 1 mgR
nmgR
mgRn
A body of mass 2m is placed on earth's surface. Calculate the change in gravitational potential energy, if this body is taken from earth's surface to a height of h, where h = 4R.
Assertion: Two bodies of masses M and m (M > m) are allowed to fall from the same height if the air resistance for each be the same then both the bodies will reach the earth simultaneously.
Reason: For same air resistance, acceleration of both the bodies will be same.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
