The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and verify their validity step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - A body is projected from the ground with an initial velocity \( v \) at an angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal. The motion can be broken down into horizontal and vertical components. 2. **Breaking Down the Velocity**: - The initial velocity \( v \) can be decomposed into two components: - Vertical component: \( v_y = v \sin \theta \) - Horizontal component: \( v_x = v \cos \theta \) 3. **Calculating Time to Reach Maximum Height**: - At maximum height, the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero. Using the equation of motion: \[ v_y = u_y + at \] where \( v_y = 0 \), \( u_y = v \sin \theta \), and \( a = -g \) (acceleration due to gravity). - Setting the equation: \[ 0 = v \sin \theta - g t_{up} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ t_{up} = \frac{v \sin \theta}{g} \] 4. **Calculating Total Time of Flight**: - The total time of flight \( T \) is twice the time taken to reach maximum height (since the time to go up is equal to the time to come down): \[ T = 2 t_{up} = 2 \left(\frac{v \sin \theta}{g}\right) = \frac{2v \sin \theta}{g} \] - This confirms Statement 1: The time of flight \( T = \frac{2v \sin \theta}{g} \). 5. **Independence of Vertical and Horizontal Motions**: - The second statement asserts that vertical and horizontal motions can be treated independently. This is true because: - The horizontal motion experiences no acceleration (assuming no air resistance), while the vertical motion is influenced only by gravity. - Therefore, the horizontal and vertical motions can be analyzed separately. 6. **Conclusion**: - Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true. Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1, as the independence of the motions allows us to derive the time of flight. ### Final Answer: Both statements are true. Statement 1 is correct, and Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
