8)
1) What is the net displacement of the car?
a) 20 km b) 30 km
c) 50 km d) 70 km
2) What is the distance travelled by the car?
a) 90 km b) 30 km
c) 50 km d) 70 km
9) Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero, when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the longer distance between the initial and final positions.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
10) Assertion: An object can have constant speed but variable velocity.
Reason: velocity changes due to change in direction, though speed is same.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false
