A body in one-dimensional motion has zero speed at an instant. At that instant, it must have:

  • zero velocity.

  • zero acceleration.

  • non-zero velocity.

  • non-zero acceleration.

If a particle is moving along a straight line with increasing speed, then:

  • its acceleration is negative.

  • its acceleration may be decreasing.

  • its acceleration is positive.

  • both (2) & (3)

At any instant, the velocity and acceleration of a particle moving along a straight line are v and a. The speed of the particle is increasing if
