(ASSERTION & REASON) Assertion and Reason are given in following questions. Each question have four option. One of them is correct it. Assertion : Work done by centripetal force is zero. Reason : This is because entripetal force is always along the tangent
The assertion that the work done by centripetal force is zero is correct because centripetal force acts perpendicular to the direction of displacement, which means no work is done (work done = force × displacement × cos(θ), and θ = 90°). However, the reason provided is incorrect because centripetal force is not along the tangent but rather directed towards the center of the circular path. Hence, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
