STATEMENT 1

If there is no external torque on a body about its center of mass, then the velocity of the center of mass remains constant.

Because

STATEMENT 2

The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • B Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Statement 1 : For velocity of centre of mass remains constant, net force acting on body must be zero. Therefore the statement 1 is false.

Statement 2 : The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant. The statement is true.
