For Question No. 16 to 20:
Each question consider of two statements: one is Assertion (A) and the other is Reason(R). You are to examine
these two statements and select the answer using the code given below.
a) Both A and R individually correct, but R is the correct explanation of A
b) Both A and R individually correct, but R is the not correct explanation of A
c) A is true but R is false d) A is false but R is true
QUESTION BANK

16. Assertion (A): If a block is released form rest, when reaches the bottom point of the wedge, its
speed is same irrespective whether the wedge is fixed or the wedge is fee to move.
Reason(R): Mechanical energy is conserved in both cases.

17. Assertion (A): A body is at rest on floor. You lift it vertically up and bring it to rest at a point h
above the ground. The work done by you is zero.
Reason(R): Any non-zero work done by a force on a body results in change in kinetic energy of
the body.

18. Assertion (A): The negative of the work done by the conservative internal forces on s system
equals to change in its potential energy.
Reason(R): Work energy theorem.

19. Assertion (A): In a tug of war that team wins which applies more tension force on string then
their opponents.
Reason(R): The winning team must be having stronger players.

20. Assertion (A): If a block starts moving at t = 0 with an acceleration a then its kinetic energy at
time t with respect to two non-inertial frames which have same acceleration in a
direction is not always same.
Reason(R): The work energy theorem W K A A is not for non-inertial frame.
