Physics · JEE | MOTION IN A PLANE
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The magnitude of a null vector is zero and its direction is indeterminate or cannot be specified. Reason (R): When an object moves from a point P and returns back to the same point P, its total displacement is a null vector. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation
Both statements are correct definitions and properties of a null vector from text, but Reason (R) is a physical example of zero displacement and not the logical cause of why a null vector has zero magnitude and undefined direction.
