Kinematics Question 481
A coin is placed on phonogram turn table. The motor is started, coin moves along the moving table. Reason : The rotating table is providing necessary centripetal force to the coin.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason are both false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Within a certain speed of the turn table the frictional force between the coin and the turn table supplies the necessary centripetal force required for circular motion. On further increase of speed, the frictional force cannot supply the necessary centripetal force. Therefore the coin flies off tangentially.
