Mark the correct statements for a particle moving in a straight line.

  • A
    If the position and velocity have opposite signs,the particle is moving towards the origin.
  • B
    If the velocity is zero for a time interval,the acceleration is zero at any instant within the time interval.
  • C
    If the velocity and acceleration have opposite signs,the object is slowing down.
  • D
    All of the above

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ An object can have acceleration even when its velocity is zero.

$A$ car moves in the positive $Y$-direction with velocity $v$ proportional to the distance travelled $y$ as $v(y) \propto y^\beta$, where $\beta$ is a positive constant. The car covers a distance $L$ with average velocity $\langle v \rangle$ proportional to $L$ as $\langle v \rangle \propto L^{1/3}$. The constant $\beta$ is given as:

$A$ car travels from $A$ to $B$ (without changing direction). During the first part of the journey,its average speed is $V_1$,and for the second part of the journey,its average speed is $V_2$. The ratio of the path length of the second part to the path length of the first part is $\sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}}$. In this case,the average speed of the total path is the ....... of the average speeds of both parts. Choose the correct option.
