AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Motion In One Dimension

Assertion (A) : The displacement of a vertically projected body during last second of its upward motion is \(\frac{g}{2}\).
Reason \((\mathrm{R})\) : For a vertically projected body the acceleration decreases gradually and becomes \(\frac{g}{2}\) during the last second of upward motion.

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 the correct explanation of (A)
C (A) is true but (R) is false
D (A) is false but (R) is true

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A) is true but (R) is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

No solution. Refer to answer key.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
