14. The displacement of a particle as a function of time is shown in the figure. The figure shows that
(1) The particle starts with certain velocity but the motion is retarded and finally the particle stops
(2) The velocity of the particle is constant throughout
(3) The acceleration of the particle is constant throughout.
(4) The particle starts with constant velocity, then motion is accelerated and finally the particle
moves with another constant velocity

motion is retarded and finally slope becomes zero i.e. particle stops.
