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
