Q. Assertion : The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction of velocity or both.
Reason : Acceleration can be produced only by change in the magnitude of the velocity.

Motion in a Straight Line

Solution:

Change in the direction of the velocity also produces acceleration as in the case of circular motion. The change in the magnitude or direction of the velocity or both can produce acceleration.
