IV. Which of the following is false about linear motion:

    A.    The velocity has to change direction as the object turns around.
    B.    The object will not move if its acceleration is 0 m/s2.
    C.    The object will slow down if its velocity and acceleration are opposite in sign.
    D.    The acceleration is 0 m/s2 if the object is moving with a constant velocity.
    E.    It is possible for the object to have a negative displacement (from the origin), but a positive velocity.

    Ans.    B

    C.    t = 3s
    D.    t = 4.5s
