Assertion : If a body of mass m is projected upwards with a speed V making an angle θ\theta with the vertical, than the change in the momentum of the body along X–axis is zero.
Reason : Mass of the body remains constant along X–axis.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason doesn't directly explain the assertion. The assertion is true because there's no external force along the x-axis, and the reason is true because mass remains constant.
