Question

Assertion :An object of mass m is initially at rest. A constant force F acts on it. Then the velocity gained by the object during a fixed displacement is proportional to 1/m. Reason: For a given constant force and displacement, velocity is always inversely proportional to root of mass.

Solution

The correct option is B Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
Using third equation of motion:
v2=u2+2×a×s and F=m×a

We get: v2Fm×s, as u=0

or, vFm×s

Hence, for a given force and displacement velocity is always inversely proportional to root of mass, and reason is correct explanation of mass.
