The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements given and determine their validity based on the principles of physics, particularly focusing on projectile motion and conservation of angular momentum.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions**:
- A particle is projected from the surface of the Earth with an initial velocity \( v_1 = 0.5 \sqrt{g R_e} \).
- The angle of projection with the vertical is \( 30^\circ \).
2. **Breaking Down the Velocity Components**:
- The initial velocity can be broken down into horizontal and vertical components.
- The vertical component \( v_{1y} = v_1 \cos(30^\circ) = 0.5 \sqrt{g R_e} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 0.25 \sqrt{3g R_e} \).
- The horizontal component \( v_{1x} = v_1 \sin(30^\circ) = 0.5 \sqrt{g R_e} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \).
3. **Velocity at the Highest Point**:
- At the highest point of the projectile's motion, the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero, and only the horizontal component remains.
- Therefore, the velocity at the highest point \( v_2 = v_{1x} = 0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \).
4. **Evaluating Statement 1**:
- Statement 1 claims that the velocity at the highest point will be \( 0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \).
- From our calculations, we found that this is indeed true since \( v_2 = 0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \).
5. **Conservation of Angular Momentum**:
- The angular momentum of the particle-Earth system is conserved.
- The initial angular momentum \( L_i \) can be expressed as \( L_i = m v_1 \cdot R_e \cdot \sin(30^\circ) \).
- The final angular momentum \( L_f \) at the highest point is \( L_f = m v_2 \cdot (R_e + h) \), where \( h \) is the height reached.
6. **Setting Up the Angular Momentum Conservation Equation**:
- Setting \( L_i = L_f \):
\[
m \cdot 0.5 \sqrt{g R_e} \cdot R_e \cdot \frac{1}{2} = m \cdot 0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \cdot (R_e + h)
\]
- Simplifying this equation leads to:
\[
0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \cdot R_e = 0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \cdot (R_e + h)
\]
- This implies that the height \( h \) is zero, indicating that the particle does not rise above the Earth's surface.
7. **Evaluating Statement 2**:
- Statement 2 claims that the angular momentum of the particle-Earth system remains constant, which is true as angular momentum is conserved in a gravitational field.
### Conclusion:
- **Statement 1** is **true**: The velocity at the highest point is indeed \( 0.25 \sqrt{g R_e} \).
- **Statement 2** is **true**: The angular momentum of the particle-Earth system remains constant.
### Final Answer:
Both statements are true.
