Assertion(A): A glass ball is dropped on concrete floor can easily get broken compared, if it is dropped on wooden floor.
Reason(R): On concrete floor, glass ball will take less time to come to rest.
Reason(R): On concrete floor, glass ball will take less time to come to rest.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option A (Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because the glass ball experiences a greater force on the concrete floor due to the shorter time interval, leading to breakage.

Which of the following sets of forces can not have resultant force equal to zero. (All forces are in newton).
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
10, 20, 40
Option D (10, 20, 40) is correct because the sum of the two smallest forces (10 + 20 = 30) is less than the largest force (40), so they cannot form a closed triangle and have a zero resultant.
