Statement 1 is False, statement2 is True.

STATEMENT 1
A bomb at rest explodes into two fragments of different masses. The kinetic energies of the two
fragments will be in inverse ratio of their masses.
because

STATEMENT 2
Kinetic energy of a body is inversely proportional to its momentum.

STATEMENT 1
When a man raises himself up by pulling down on a horizontal bar as in a gymnasium, it is work
done by the normal reaction from the bar that goes on to increase his potential energy.
because
STATEMENT 2
Normal force applied by the bar on the man is responsible for lifting the centre of mass of the man.

16.

STATEMENT 1
A body is connected to a string and if it just completes a circle, it must have zero velocity at the top.
because
STATEMENT 2
A body is projected in vertically upward direction, at the highest point the acceleration of particle is
nonzero.

momentum if the external force acting on the system is
zero, the linear momentum of the system will remain
M
conserved. It means if the centre of mass of a system is
initially at rest, it will remain at rest in the absence of
external force, that is the displacement of centre of
mass will be zero.
A plank of mass M is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. Two light identical springs each of
stiffness K are rigidly connected to struts at the end of the plank as shown in the figure. When the
springs are in their unextended position the distance between their free ends is 3 . A block of mass
m is placed on the plank and pressed against one of the springs so that it is compressed to l. To keep
the block at rest it is connected to the strut by means of a light string. Initially the system is at rest.
Now the string is burnt.

PASSAGE-2
If no external force is acting on the system, net linear momentum of the system is
conserved. If system is acted upon by some external force, the component of
momentum of the system, along which no external force is present or their vector sum
is zero, is conserved. If a sharp blow is given to a body its linear momentum changes
immediately. Change in angular momentum not only depends on the magnitude of the
blow but also on point of application. In the case of symmetrical body we take the axis
of rotation through center of the body.
Two blocks A and B of mass m and 2 m respectively are connected
together by a light spring of stiffness K. The system is lying on a
smooth horizontal surface with the block A in contact with a fixed
vertical wall as shown in the figure. The block B is pressed towards the
wall by a distance x0 and then released. There is no friction anywhere.
