The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements given in the question. ### Step 1: Understand Statement 1 **Statement 1:** Work done by a force on a body can be added to the kinetic energy of the body. - Work done (W) is defined as the energy transferred when a force is applied to an object, causing it to move. The formula for work done is: \[ W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos(\theta) \] where \(F\) is the force, \(d\) is the displacement, and \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the displacement direction. - The unit of work done is Joules (J), which can also be expressed in terms of dimensions as \( [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \). - Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion, given by the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] where \(m\) is the mass and \(v\) is the velocity. - The unit of kinetic energy is also Joules (J), and its dimensions are the same as that of work done: \( [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \). ### Conclusion for Step 1: Since both work done and kinetic energy have the same dimensions and units, they can indeed be added together. Therefore, **Statement 1 is true**. ### Step 2: Understand Statement 2 **Statement 2:** By the principle of homogeneity, any two physical quantities which are added must have the same dimensions. - The principle of homogeneity states that in any physical equation, all terms must have the same dimensions. This is essential for the mathematical validity of the equation. - For example, if we were to add work done (in Joules) to kinetic energy (also in Joules), both quantities must have the same dimensions, which they do. ### Conclusion for Step 2: Since the principle of homogeneity is correctly stated and applies to the addition of work done and kinetic energy, **Statement 2 is also true**. ### Final Conclusion: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1. Therefore, the answer is that both statements are true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation of Statement 1.
