Explanation: (A) if a body is accelerating then it's velocity can't be constant since an object is said to be accelerating if it is changing velocity (B) if the acceleration of an object moving along a line is 0 then it's velocity will be constant since there is no change in direction or speed (C) No. it is not possible for a moving body to have an instantaneous velocity at all times since instantaneous velocity is the velocity of a body at a certain instant of time ... (D) Yes a moving object can have a negative acceleration and increasing speed, it can also have a positive acceleration with decreasing speed.
