Problem

A particle moves along a line with velocity v(t)v(t), differentiable for all real tt. Which condition must be satisfied at a time t=ct=c for the particle to reverse its direction of motion at t=ct=c? (a) v(c)=0v(c)=0 (b) v(c)=0v(c)=0 and a(c)=0a(c)=0 (c) v(c)=0v(c)=0 and v(t)v(t) changes sign at t=ct=c (d) s(c)=0s(c)=0 and v(c)=0v(c)=0
