Assertion : Two balls of different masses are thrown vertically upward with same speed. They will pass through their point of projection in the downward direction with the same speed. Reason : The maximum height and downward velocity attained at the point of projection are independent of the mass of the ball.

Assertion : A positive acceleration of a body can be associated with a ?slowing down? of the body. Reason : Acceleration is a vector quantity.

Assertion : The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one direction. Reason : Because in this case distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the body.

Assertion : The slope of displacement-time graph of a body moving with high velocity is steeper than the slope of displacement-time graph of a body with low velocity. Reason : Slope of displacement-time graph = Velocity of the body.

Assertion : Distance-time graph of the motion of a body having uniformly accelerated motion is a straight line inclined to the time axis. Reason : Distance travelled by a body having uniformly accelerated motion is directly proportional to the square of the time taken.

Assertion : A body having non-zero acceleration can have a constant velocity. Reason : Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Assertion : A body, whatever its motion is always at rest in a frame of reference which is fixed to the body itself. Reason : The relative velocity of a body with respect to itself is zero.

Assertion : Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason : The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position.

Assertion : The equation of motion can be applied only if acceleration is along the direction of velocity and is constant. Reason : If the acceleration of a body is constant then its motion is known as uniform motion.

Assertion : A bus moving due north takes a turn and starts moving towards east with same speed. There will be no change in the velocity of bus. Reason : Velocity is a vector-quantity.

Assertion : The relative velocity between any two bodies moving in opposite direction is equal to sum of the velocities of two bodies. Reason : Sometimes relative velocity between two bodies is equal to difference in velocities of the two.

Assertion : Velocity-time graph for an object in uniform motion along a straight path is a straight line parallel to the time axis. Reason : In uniform motion of an object velocity increases as the square of time elapsed.

Assertion : A body may be accelerated even when it is moving uniformly. Reason : When direction of motion of the body is changing then body may have acceleration.
