A particle is moving along a curve. Select the correct statement.

1. If its speed is constant, then it has no acceleration.
2. If its speed is increasing, then the acceleration of the particle is along its direction of motion.
3. If its speed is decreasing, then the acceleration of the particle is opposite to its direction of motion.
4. If its speed is constant, its acceleration is perpendicular to its velocity.

The \(x\) and \(y\) coordinates of the particle at any time are \(x=5 t-2 t^2\) and \({y}=10{t}\) respectively, where \(x\) and \(y\) are in meters and \(\mathrm{t}\) in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at \(\mathrm{t}=2\) s is:

1. \(5\hat{i}~\text{m/s}^2\) 2. \(-4\hat{i}~\text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(-8\hat{j}~\text{m/s}^2\) 4. \(0\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In a two-dimensional motion, there are two accelerations acting on the particle.
Reason (R): Both the components of velocity, i.e., horizontal and vertical, in case of free fall keeps on changing with respect to time. 
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

A particle is moving southward with a velocity of \(10\) m/s. In \(4\) s, the velocity changes to \(10\) m/s eastward. The average acceleration of particle during this time interval is:
1. \(5\sqrt2\) m/s2 SE 2. \(\dfrac{5}{\sqrt2}\) m/s2 SE
3. \(5\sqrt2\) m/s2 NE 4. \(\dfrac{5}{\sqrt2}\) m/s2 NE
