Assertion : A wheel moving down a perfectly frictionless inclined plane will undergo slipping (not rolling motion)
Reason : For perfect rolling motion, work done against friction is zero.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
Rolling occurs only on account of friction which is a tangential force capable of providing torque when the inclined plane is perfectly smooth, it will simply slip under the effect of its own weight. Once the perfect rolling begins, force of friction becomes zero. Hence, the work done against friction is zero.
