The position-time graph of a particle moving along a straight line is shown,which is in the form of a semicircle starting from $t=2 \, s$ to $t=8 \, s$. Select the correct statement.

  • A
    Velocity of the particle between $t=0 \, s$ to $t=2 \, s$ is positive.
  • B
    Velocity of the particle is opposite to acceleration between $t=2 \, s$ to $t=5 \, s$.
  • C
    Velocity of the particle is opposite to acceleration between $t=5 \, s$ to $t=8 \, s$.
  • D
    Acceleration of the particle is positive between $t=2 \, s$ to $t=5 \, s$ while it is negative between $t=5 \, s$ to $t=8 \, s$.
