is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reasion is the correct
explanation for Assertion
The value of coefficient of friction is lowered due to wetting of the surface.
Hence the frictional force becomes less and vehicle takes longer to stop after
sliding for some distance.
40. (B)
Sol. In
uniform circular motion of a body the speed remains constant but velocity
changes as direction of motion changes.
As linear momentum = mass × velocity, therefore linear
momentum of a body changes in a circle.
On the other hand, if the body is moving uniformly along
a straight line then its velocity remains constant and hence acceleration is
equal to zero. So force is equal to zero.
