Assertion (A): For uniformly accelerated motion along straight line, the position versus time graph is a straight line.
Reason (R): For uniformly accelerated motion the position in equal intervals of time changes by same amount.
Solution:
Assertion (A) is false.
For uniformly accelerated motion, position \( x \) is related to time \( t \) by \( x = x_0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \). This is a parabolic equation, so the position-time graph is a parabola, not a straight line.
Reason (R) is false. In uniformly accelerated motion, velocity changes by equal amounts in equal time intervals, but position does not. Position changes by increasing amounts (if starting from rest).
Therefore, both the Assertion and the Reason are false.
