(ALL OF THE ABOVE) The given $x-t$ graph,shown in $(a)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because a particle cannot have two positions at the same instant of time.
The given $v-t$ graph,shown in $(b)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because a particle can never have two values of velocity at the same instant of time.
The given speed-time graph,shown in $(c)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because speed is a scalar quantity and cannot be negative.
The given total path length-time graph,shown in $(d)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because the total path length (distance) travelled by a particle can never decrease with time.

Read each statement below carefully and state with reasons and examples,if it is true or false for a particle in one-dimensional motion:
$(a)$ With zero speed at an instant may have non-zero acceleration at that instant.
$(b)$ With zero speed may have non-zero velocity.
$(c)$ With constant speed must have zero acceleration.
$(d)$ With positive value of acceleration must be speeding up.

At time $t=0$,a car moving along a straight line has a velocity of $16 \; m/s$. It slows down with an acceleration of $a = -0.5t \; m/s^2$,where $t$ is in seconds. Mark the correct statement$(s)$.

$A$ particle moves along the sides $AB, BC, CD$ of a square of side $25 \, m$ with a constant velocity of $15 \, m \, s^{-1}$. Its average velocity is ........ $m \, s^{-1}$.

$A$ particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement $x$ varies with time $t$ as $x = \alpha t^3 + \beta t^2 + \gamma$, where $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are constants. $V_1$ is the average velocity of the particle during its journey between $t = 1 \ s$ and $t = 3 \ s$. $V_2$ is the instantaneous velocity of the particle at $t = 3 \ s$. The ratio $\frac{V_1}{V_2}$ is

For a particle showing motion under the force $F = -5(x - 2)^2$,the motion is .......
