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. ---
