Solution

The correct option is B Both Statements 1 and 2 are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Answer is B.
Because the object does not slip as it rolls, there is no loss of mechanical energy. As it rolls, the object is experiencing a combination of straight-line and rotational motion.
Kinetic (or dynamic) friction occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together (like a sled on the ground). Hence, there is loss of mechanical energy as the bodies moves rubbing each other.
Therefore, Both Statements 1 and 2 are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
