The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the behavior of two particles during a completely inelastic collision and the principle of conservation of momentum. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1**: "Two particles moving in the same direction do not lose all their energy in a completely inelastic collision." - In a completely inelastic collision, two objects collide and stick together, moving as a single object after the collision. - Even though kinetic energy is not conserved in completely inelastic collisions, momentum is conserved. - When two particles collide and stick together, they will have a final velocity that is a combination of their initial velocities. This means they do not come to a complete stop; thus, they retain some kinetic energy. - Therefore, Statement 1 is **correct** because the particles do not lose all their energy; they lose some kinetic energy but not all. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2**: "The principle of conservation of momentum holds true for all kinds of collisions." - The principle of conservation of momentum states that if no external forces act on a system, the total momentum of that system remains constant. - This principle applies to all types of collisions: elastic, inelastic, and completely inelastic. - Since there are no external forces acting during the collision of the two particles, momentum is conserved regardless of the type of collision. - Therefore, Statement 2 is also **correct**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements - Since Statement 1 is correct, we need to check if Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. - Statement 2 explains that momentum conservation applies to all collisions, which is the reason why the two particles do not lose all their energy in a completely inelastic collision. - Thus, Statement 2 indeed serves as a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Conclusion Both statements are correct, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the answer to the question is: **Option 1: Statement 1 is correct, Statement 2 is correct, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.** ---
