The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided.
### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1
**Statement 1:** If a light body and a heavy body possess the same kinetic energy, then the heavy body will possess more momentum.
- Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula:
\[
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
\]
where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity.
- Momentum (p) is given by the formula:
\[
p = mv
\]
- If both bodies have the same kinetic energy, we can set the kinetic energy equations equal to each other:
\[
\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2
\]
where \( m_1 \) is the mass of the light body and \( m_2 \) is the mass of the heavy body.
- Rearranging gives:
\[
m_1v_1^2 = m_2v_2^2
\]
- From this, we can express the velocities in terms of kinetic energy:
\[
v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m_1}} \quad \text{and} \quad v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m_2}}
\]
- Now, substituting these velocities into the momentum formula:
\[
p_1 = m_1v_1 = m_1\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m_1}} = \sqrt{2m_1KE}
\]
\[
p_2 = m_2v_2 = m_2\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m_2}} = \sqrt{2m_2KE}
\]
- Since \( m_2 > m_1 \) and both have the same kinetic energy, it follows that:
\[
p_2 > p_1
\]
- Therefore, Statement 1 is **true**.
### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2
**Statement 2:** Work done by all the forces on a body is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
- This statement is a direct reference to the Work-Energy Theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
- Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
\[
W = \Delta KE = KE_{final} - KE_{initial}
\]
- Therefore, Statement 2 is also **true**.
### Conclusion
Both statements are true. However, Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1; they are independent truths.
### Final Answer
Both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.
