The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding the coefficient of restitution and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step 1: Understand the Coefficient of Restitution The coefficient of restitution (e) is a measure of how elastic a collision is. It is defined as the ratio of the relative velocity of separation to the relative velocity of approach between two colliding bodies. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "The coefficient of restitution is less than one for all collisions studied under Newton's laws of restitution." - The coefficient of restitution can take values from 0 to 1: - e = 0 for perfectly inelastic collisions (the bodies stick together). - 0 < e < 1 for partially elastic collisions. - e = 1 for perfectly elastic collisions (the bodies bounce off without losing kinetic energy). Thus, Statement 1 is **true** because while the coefficient of restitution can be less than one, it can also be equal to one for perfectly elastic collisions. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "For a perfectly elastic collision, the coefficient of restitution is equal to one." - This statement is also true. In perfectly elastic collisions, kinetic energy is conserved, and the relative velocity of separation is equal to the relative velocity of approach, resulting in e = 1. ### Step 4: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements While both statements are true, Statement 2 does not serve as a correct explanation for Statement 1. Statement 1 refers to all types of collisions, while Statement 2 specifically addresses only perfectly elastic collisions. ### Conclusion - Statement 1 is true. - Statement 2 is true. - However, Statement 2 does not correctly explain Statement 1. Thus, the correct option is **B**: Both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.
