Horizontal and Vertical Components of Projectile Motion
Assertion :If...
Question
Assertion :If a body is momentarily at rest, it means that force or acceleration are necessarily zero at that instant. Reason: Force on a body at a given time is determined by the direction of the motion only.

Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect If a body is momentarily at rest i.e.v=0 at an instant, it does not mean that force or acceleration are necessarily zero at that instant. For example, when a ball thrown upward reaches its maximum height, v=0 but the force continues to be its weight mg and the acceleration is g. Force is not always in the direction of motion.
