Question
A particle is moving on a straight line path with constant acceleration directed along the direction of instantaneous velocity. Which of the following statements are false about the motion of particle?
- Particle may reverse the direction of motion
- Distance covered is not equal to magnitude of displacement
- The magnitude of average velocity is less than average speed
- All of the above
The correct answer is: All of the above
Since, acceleration is in the direction of instantaneous velocity, so particle always moves in forward direction.
Hence, [d] is correct.
