Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The particle moves on the x-axis. When its acceleration is positive and increasing:
A
its velocity must be positive
B
its velocity must be negative
C
it must be slowing down
D
it must be speeding up
E
none of the above must be true
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1 Answer. Correct option (E) none of the above must be true. Acceleration is independent of velocity (you can accelerate in any direction while traveling in a ny direction).

Detailed explanation-2: -When an object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a positive acceleration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The position of a particle moving along the x-axis varies with time t as x=4t−t2+1.

Detailed explanation-4: -For a particle moving along x-axis, the acceleration a of the particle in terms of its x-coordinate x is given by a=−9x, where x is in meters and a is in m/s2. Take acceleration, velocity and displacement in positive x-direction as positive. The initial velocity of particle at x=0 is u=+6 m/s.

Detailed explanation-5: -the velocity of a particle moving on the x-axis is given by v=x2+x.
