8. v (speed) = - 4 12 t
For t < 3 (time unit) speed is negative,
which can’t describe a motion. Thus,
assertion is correct.
As speed can be changed linearly with
time, the reason is false.
Option (c) is correct.
9. In circular motion the acceleration
changes regularly where as in projectile
motion it is constant. Thus, in circular

Particle performs circular motion due to

N

Ncosq is balanced by mg (weight of

Acceleration is not along the surface of the 
funnel. It is along the centre O of the

As assertion and reason both are true and

w (angular velocity)
Thus, assertion is correct.
In circular motion, when speed is
constant, the angular velocity will
obviously be constant; but this reason does 
not lead to the result as explained.
Option (b) is correct.
3. A frame moving in a circle with constant
speed can never be an inertial frame as
the frame is not moving with constant
velocity (due to change in direction).
Reason that the frame is having constant
acceleration is false.
Option (c) is correct.

8. v (speed) = - 4 12 t
For t < 3 (time unit) speed is negative,
which can’t describe a motion. Thus,
assertion is correct.
As speed can be changed linearly with
time, the reason is false.
Option (c) is correct.
9. In circular motion the acceleration
changes regularly where as in projectile
motion it is constant. Thus, in circular
motion we can't apply v u a
® ® ®
= + t directly,
whereas in projectile motion we can say
reason that in circular motion gravity has
no role is wrong.
Option (c) is correct.
10. N mg = cos q
Therefore, assertion is wrong.
Particle performs circular motion due to 
Nsinq 
\
mv
r
N
2
= sinq
Ncosq is balanced by mg (weight of
particle).
Acceleration is not along the surface of the 
funnel. It is along the centre O of the
circle. Thus, reason is true.
Option (d) is correct.

If at the top of the circular path v gr ³
i.e., if bucket moved fast, the water will
not fall (Assertion).
As assertion and reason both are true and
reason is the correct explanation of the
assertion of the option would be (a).
