The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which statement is correct, we will analyze each of the four statements provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement 1**: - The statement claims that Newton stated that celestial and terrestrial mechanics are the same. - This is true. Newton's law of universal gravitation applies to both celestial bodies (like planets and moons) and terrestrial bodies (like objects on Earth). Therefore, this statement is correct. 2. **Analyze Statement 2**: - This statement claims that Maxwell gave the law of electroweak forces. - This is incorrect. The electroweak theory was developed later and is attributed to other physicists, not Maxwell. Maxwell is known for his work on electromagnetism, not electroweak forces. 3. **Analyze Statement 3**: - This statement claims that Glaceau said that electricity and magnetism cannot be separated. - This is also incorrect. The unification of electricity and magnetism into electromagnetism was formulated by James Clerk Maxwell, not Glaceau. 4. **Analyze Statement 4**: - This statement claims that Rubia gave the statement that Newton gave us. - This is incorrect. Newton is the one who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation; Rubia is not associated with these foundational concepts. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all four statements, we find that only Statement 1 is correct. **Correct Statement**: Statement 1 (Newton stated that celestial and terrestrial mechanics are the same). ---
