Statement I: A truck and a car moving with equal kinetic energy are stopped by equal retarding force. Both cover an equal distance before stopping.
Statement II: A car moving towards the East suddenly changes its direction towards the North at the same speed. Its acceleration is zero.

From the terrace of a building of height , you dropped a ball of mass . It reached the ground with speed . Is the relation applicable exactly? If not, how can you account for the difference? Will the ball bounce to the same height from where it was dropped?

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : A truck and a car moving with same kinetic energy are brought to rest by applying breaks which provide equal retarding forces. Both come to rest in equal distance.
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.
In the light of given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
