Statement I: When the car accelerates horizontally along a straight road, the accelerating force is given by the push of the rear axile on the wheels.
Statement II: When the car accelerates, the rear axile rotates with a greater frequency.
Statement II: When the car accelerates, the rear axile rotates with a greater frequency.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I
Option A (Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I) is correct because the push of the rear axle on the wheels is the accelerating force, and this push is due to the rotation of the axle at a greater frequency.
