$STATEMENT$-$1$ A block of mass $\mathrm{m}$ starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity $\mathrm{v}$. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity $v$. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. because

$STATEMENT$- $2$ The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.
