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

A

`alpha` cannot remain positive for all t in the interval `0 le t le 1)`.

B

`|alpha|`.cannot exceed 2 at any point in its path

C

`|alpha|`.must be `ge 4` at some point or points in its path.

D

`alpha` must change sign during the motion, but no other assertion can be made with the information given.
