State whether the following statements are true or false:
$1$. The motion in animals is called locomotion.
$2$. Mechanics deals with the motion of non-living objects.
$1$. The motion in animals is called locomotion.
$2$. Mechanics deals with the motion of non-living objects.
(B) The first statement is $False$. Locomotion is specifically defined as the ability of an organism to move from one place to another,whereas motion is a general term for any change in position. Not all motion in animals is locomotion (e.g.,movement of internal organs).
The second statement is $False$. Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of both living and non-living objects under the action of forces. Therefore,the overall answer is $False$.
The second statement is $False$. Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of both living and non-living objects under the action of forces. Therefore,the overall answer is $False$.
