Given below are two statements:
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.
Statement $II$: $A$ car moving towards the east takes a turn and moves towards the north, the speed remains unchanged. The acceleration of the car is zero.
In the light of the given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct.
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct.
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false.

Two spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively collide with each other. Initially, $S_1$ is at rest and $S_2$ is moving with velocity $v$ along the $x$-axis. After the collision, $S_2$ has a velocity $\frac{v}{2}$ in a direction perpendicular to the original direction. The sphere $S_1$ moves after the collision:
