The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - A stone of mass \( m \) is dropped from a train that is at rest. The only force acting on the stone is its weight, which is \( mg \) downward. - When the stone is dropped from a train that is accelerating with \( a \, \text{m/s}^2 \), the stone also experiences a downward force of \( mg \) when it is released. The stone will have an initial horizontal velocity equal to that of the train at the moment of release. 2. **Force Analysis**: - In both cases (the train at rest and the train accelerating), the net force acting on the stone after it is dropped is \( mg \) downward. - The acceleration of the stone after it is released is due only to gravity, which is \( g \), and this is independent of the train's acceleration. 3. **Understanding Statement 2**: - In two-dimensional projectile motion, the vertical and horizontal motions are independent of each other. - The vertical motion is influenced by gravity (an acceleration of \( g \)), while the horizontal motion does not experience any acceleration (assuming no air resistance). 4. **Conclusion**: - Statement 1 is true because the net force acting on the stone is \( mg \) downward in both scenarios. - Statement 2 is also true as it correctly describes the independence of vertical and horizontal motions in projectile motion. - Therefore, Statement 2 serves as a correct explanation for Statement 1. 5. **Final Answer**: - Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. Thus, the answer is A.
