The displacement $x$ of a particle depend on time $t$ as $x = \alpha {t^{^2}} - \beta {t^3}$ 

  • A

    particle will return to its starting point after time $\frac{\alpha }{\beta }$

  • B

    the particle will come to rest after time $\frac{2\alpha }{3\beta }$

  • C

    the initial velocity of the particle was zero but its initial acceleration was not zero. 

  • D

    All of the above
