The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements provided and determine their correctness based on the principles of physics, particularly focusing on friction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that it takes a much longer time and covers more distance to stop a moving ship in water than a moving car with the same speed on the road. - This can be understood by considering the forces acting on both vehicles when they attempt to stop. 2. **Understanding Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that the friction on the water surface is much less than on a solid surface. - This is a fundamental property of friction: water provides less frictional force compared to solid surfaces like asphalt or concrete. 3. **Analyzing the Effects of Friction**: - **For the Ship**: When a ship moves through water, the frictional force acting against its motion is relatively low due to the low coefficient of friction between the ship's hull and the water. As a result, when the ship attempts to stop, it takes a longer time and covers a greater distance before coming to a complete stop. - **For the Car**: In contrast, a car moving on a solid road has a much higher frictional force acting against it when brakes are applied. This higher friction allows the car to stop more quickly and cover a shorter stopping distance. 4. **Conclusion on Statements**: - Since Statement 2 is correct (friction on water is less than on solid surfaces), it supports the validity of Statement 1. Therefore, both statements are true. - Hence, the correct option is that both statements are true. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct. ---
