    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: The velocity of a body at the bottom of an inclined plane of given height is more when it slides down the plane, compared to, when it rolling down the same plane. Reason: In rolling down a body acquires both, kinetic energy of translation and rotation.

    A)  If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

    B)  If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

    C)  If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

    D)  If both Assertion and Reason are false.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In sliding down, the entire potential energy of body is converted only into translational energy. While in rolling motion, some part of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of rotation and rest into kinetic energy of translation. Therefore, in sliding motion, the velocity acquired by the body is more.
