Distance and Displacement Assertion Reason Questions – Class 11 Physics

Welcome to this quiz on Motion in a Straight Line, specially designed for Class 11 Physics students. This chapter focuses on understanding the fundamental concepts of motion, distance, displacement, speed, and velocity. As you progress through your Physics journey, mastering these essential concepts will provide a strong foundation for further studies.

In this quiz, we present Assertion and Reason type multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to test your knowledge and analytical skills in this area. These questions consist of two statements, one Assertion (A) and one Reason (R), followed by four options. Your task is to determine the relationship between the assertion and reason and choose the appropriate option.

This quiz will help you gauge your understanding of key topics such as position, distance, displacement, and their interrelationships in the context of motion in a straight line. So, let’s dive in and put your knowledge to the test. Best of luck!

Distance and displacement Assertion Reason type Questions

Instructions for attempting the test

1. Carefully read both the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) statements.
2. Analyze each statement independently to determine if it is true or false.
3. If both statements are true, consider if the Reason (R) statement correctly explains or supports the Assertion (A) statement.
4. Choose the appropriate option based on your analysis:
   • Option A: If both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
   • Option B: If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
   • Option C: If only Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
   • Option D: If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
5. Practice solving these types of questions to become familiar with the process and develop the ability to quickly identify the correct relationships between the two statements.

Remember that understanding the concepts and reasoning behind each statement is crucial for accurately answering Assertion and Reason type MCQs.

1. Assertion (A): Distance is a scalar quantity.
Reason (R): Distance does not depend on the direction.

A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

C.A is true, but R is false

D.A is false, but R is true

2. Assertion (A): Displacement can be zero even if the distance traveled is not zero.
Reason (R): Displacement depends on the initial and final position of the object, while distance depends on the path traveled.

A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

C.A is true, but R is false

D.A is false, but R is true

3. Assertion (A): The magnitude of displacement can be greater than the distance traveled.
Reason (R): Distance is a scalar quantity, while displacement is a vector quantity.

A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

C.A is true, but R is false

D.A is false, but R is true

4. Assertion (A): The position of an object is always specified relative to a reference point.
Reason (R): The reference point is necessary to define the position of an object in a coordinate system.

A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

C.A is true, but R is false

D.A is false, but R is true

5. Assertion (A): The path length is always equal to the magnitude of the displacement.
Reason (R): Both path length and displacement describe the distance between two points.

A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

C.A is true, but R is false

D.A is false, but R is true

6. Assertion (A): An object moving in a straight line has the same distance and displacement.
Reason (R): Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the object.

A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

C. A is true, but R is false

D.A is false, but R is true

7. Assertion: The distance traveled by an object is always greater than or equal to its displacement.
Reason: Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of an object.

A.Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B.Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C.Only Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D.Assertion is false but Reason is true.

8. Assertion: The displacement of an object can be zero even when it has covered a non-zero distance.
Reason: Displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account the initial and final positions of an object.

A.Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B.Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C.Only Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D.Assertion is false but Reason is true.

9. Assertion: If the displacement of an object is zero, its distance covered must also be zero.
Reason: Displacement and distance are two different quantities that cannot have the same value.

A.Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B.Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C.Only Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D.Assertion is false but Reason is true.
