Which of the following statements are correct?
$(a)$ Average speed of a particle in a given time interval is never less than the magnitude of average velocity.
$(b)$ It is possible to have a situation in which $|d\vec{v}/dt| \neq 0$ but $d/dt|\vec{v}| = 0$.
$(c)$ The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the interval.
$(d)$ The average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the velocity is never zero in the interval. (Infinite accelerations are not allowed).

Which of the following statements are true for a moving body?

The speed-time graph for a body moving along a straight line is shown in the figure. The average acceleration of the body may be .......... $m/s^2$.

$A$ bead is moving in medium $1$ with a uniform speed of $1\, m/s$ for $2.5\, s$. Then it enters into air and falls freely under gravity for $2\, m$. Finally, it enters medium $2$ and immediately moves with uniform speed for $1.5\, s$. The total distance the bead has traveled is.........$m$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$: (in $.1$)

$A$ charged object is launched inside a time-varying electric field. Its motion is recorded by a video camera on a video tape. When it is at a certain moment $A$,its position vector $\vec{r}$,velocity $\vec{v}$,and acceleration $\vec{a}$ are measured. $A$ student watches the video at a later time but mistakenly plays the tape in the reverse direction. What are the position,velocity,and acceleration of the object at moment $A$ observed by the student,respectively?
