Question
Assertion : If two objects of different masses have same momentum, the lighter body possess greater velocity.
Reason : For all bodies momentum always remains same.

Answer

(c) According to definition of momentum$P=m v$ if $P=$ constant then $m v=$ constant or $v \propto \frac{1}{m}$.As velocity is inversely proportional to mass, thereforelighterbody possess greater velocity.

Assertion : The images formed by total internal reflections are much brighter than those formed by mirrors or lenses.
Reason : There is no loss of intensity in total internal reflection.
Assertion : Two bodies of masses $M$ and $m(M>m)$ are allowed to fall from the same height if the air resistance for each be the same then both the bodies will reach the earth simultaneously.
Reason : For same air resistance, acceleration of both the bodies will be same.
Assertion : The difference in the value of acceleration due to gravity at pole and equator is proportional to square of angular velocity of earth.
Reason : The value of acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equator and maximum at the pole.
Assertion : Work and heat are two equivalent form of energy.
Reason : Work is the transfer of mechanical energy irrespective of temperature difference, whereas heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of temperature difference only.

Reason : Different colours have different wavelengths.
Assertion : $\vec{A} \times \vec{B}$ is perpendicular to both $\vec{A}+\vec{B}$ as well as $\vec{A}-\vec{B}$
Reason $\quad: \vec{A}+\vec{B}$ as well as $\vec{A}-\vec{B}$ lie in the plane containing $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$, but $\vec{A} \times \vec{B}$ lies perpendicular to the plane containing $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$.
Assertion : Gravitational force between two particles is negligibly small compared to the electrical force.
Reason : The electrical force is experienced by charged particles only.
