Question -

A particle of mass m moves on the `x`-axis  as follows. I starts from rest at  t = 0 from the point `x`= 0 and comes to rest at t = 1 at the point `x` = 1. No other information is available about its motion at intermediate time (0 < t < 1). If `alpha` denotes the instantaneous acceleration of the particle , then.

Options:
A .  `alpha` cannot remain posiive for all t in the interval `0 le t le 1`
B .  `[alpha]` cannot exceed 2 a any point in its path
C .  `[alpha]` be `ge` 4 at point or some points in its path
D .  both (A) and (C) are correct .
Answer: Option D

Since at t = 0 and t = 1 sec, particle is in rest . This is possible only when the particle accelerates for some time and then decelerates to come in rest.
