Question:

Let $\vec v$ and $\vec a$ denote the velocity and acceleration respectively of a body. Select the wrong statement(s)?
(a) $\vec a$ can be non zero when $\vec v = 0$.
(b) $\vec a$ must be zero when $\vec v = 0$.
(c) $\vec a$ must be zero when $\vec v ≠ 0$
(d) the direction of $\vec a$ must have some correlation with the direction of $\vec v$.

Options:

b, c

b, c, d

c, d

a, c, d

Correct Answer:

b, c, d

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → b, c, d

At the highest point of the projected body, $a = g$, so (a) is correct only.
