Determine whether the following statements are true or false and give an explanation or counter example. a. If the acceleration of an object remains​ constant, then its velocity is constant. b. If the acceleration of an object moving along a line is always​ 0, then its velocity is constant. c. It is impossible for the instantaneous velocity at all times atb to equal the average velocity over the interval atb. d. A moving object can have negative acceleration and increasing speed.\

Answer:

A.) False

B.) True

C.) True

D.) False

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If the acceleration of an object remains​ constant, then its velocity is constant. False because if velocity is constant, acceleration will be equal to zero.

b. If the acceleration of an object moving along a line is always​ 0, then its velocity is constant. Yes. According to definition of acceleration, saying it is the rate of change of velocity. So if velocity is not changing, acceleration = 0

c. It is impossible for the instantaneous velocity at all times at b to equal the average velocity over the interval at b. Yes. Because of constant velocity

d. A moving object can have negative acceleration and increasing speed. False. Because when an object is coming to rest velocity is always reducing.
