Statement1: |
A block is kept at the top of a smooth wedge which is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. As the block slides down the wedge, centre of the mass of the system will be accelerated |
Statement2: |
When external force acting on the system is zero, centre of mass is in rest |
a) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1 |
b) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1 |
c) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False |
d) |
Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True |

c) |
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False |
d) |
Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True |
(c) Net force acting on the wedge and block system is gravity, therefore it is accelerated in downward direction. If external force acting on the system is zero, CM may be in rest or moving with constant velocity |
