Question

Assertion : On a banked curved track, vertical component of normal reaction provides the necessary centripetal force.

Reason : Centripetal force is not always required for turning.

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A

(c) A is true but R is false

(d) A and R are false

Nice answer

Answer 1

Correct option (d) A and R are false

Explanation :

Centripetal force is provided by the horizontal component of normal reaction. Vertical component balances the weight of the vehicle. Centripetal force is required for turning. Hence, both, assertion and reason are false.
