Assertion A An astronaut inside a massive spaceship orbiting around the earth will experience a finite but small gravitational force. Reason \(\mathbf{R}\) The centripetal force necessary to keep the spaceship in orbit around the earth is provided by the gravitational force between the earth and the spaceship.
- A Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- B Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are true and \((R)\) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C (A) is true but (R) is not true
- D (A) is not true but (R) is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) (A) is not true but (R) is true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Astronaut would not experience any gravitational force as it is balanced by centrifugal force. So, A is false and R is true.
