Assertion: Static friction is self adjusting but kinetic friction is a constant force for a certain range of speed.
Reason: A body slides down an inclined plane if the angle of friction is more than the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal.
Reason: A body slides down an inclined plane if the angle of friction is more than the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion if True but the Reason is False
Option C (If Assertion is True but the Reason is False) is correct because static friction is self-adjusting, kinetic friction is constant, but the condition for sliding down a plane involves comparing the angle of repose with the inclination angle, not the angle of friction.
