The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both statements one by one and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I**: A truck and a car moving with the same kinetic energy are brought to rest by applying brakes which provide equal retarding forces. Both come to rest in equal distance. 1. **Understanding Kinetic Energy**: The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] where \(m\) is the mass and \(v\) is the velocity of the object. 2. **Applying Brakes**: When both vehicles (truck and car) are brought to rest by applying equal retarding forces, we can use the work-energy principle. The work done by the retarding force is equal to the change in kinetic energy: \[ W = F \cdot d = KE_{initial} - KE_{final} \] Since both vehicles come to rest, \(KE_{final} = 0\). 3. **Equating Work Done**: Let \(F\) be the equal retarding force and \(d\) be the distance traveled before coming to rest. Thus: \[ F \cdot d = KE_{initial} \] Since both vehicles have the same initial kinetic energy and experience the same force, they will come to rest in the same distance \(d\). **Conclusion for Statement I**: This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II**: A car moving towards east takes a turn and moves towards north, the speed remains unchanged. The acceleration of the car is zero. 1. **Understanding Acceleration**: Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If the direction of the velocity changes, even if the speed remains constant, the acceleration is not zero. 2. **Turning Motion**: When the car turns from east to north, its direction of velocity changes. This change in direction implies that there is a centripetal acceleration acting towards the center of the turn. 3. **Conclusion for Statement II**: Since the direction of the car's velocity changes, the acceleration cannot be zero. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement I** is correct. - **Statement II** is incorrect. Thus, the answer is that Statement I is true and Statement II is false.
