If in one-dimensional motion, instantaneous speed \(v\) satisfies \(0\leq v<v_0,\) then:

1. the displacement in time \(T\) must always take non-negative values.
2. the displacement \(x\) in time \(T\) satisfies  \(-{v_0T} \lt x \lt {v_0T}.\)
3. the acceleration is always a non-negative number.
4. the motion has no turning points.

At a metro station, a girl walks up a stationary escalator in time \(t_1\). If she remains stationary on the escalator, then the escalator takes her up in time \(t_2\). The time taken by her to walk upon the moving escalator will be:
1. \( \left(\mathrm{t}_1+\mathrm{t}_2\right) / 2\)
2. \( \mathrm{t}_1 \mathrm{t}_2 /\left(\mathrm{t}_2-\mathrm{t}_1\right)\)
3. \( \mathrm{t}_1 \mathrm{t}_2 /\left(\mathrm{t}_1+\mathrm{t}_2\right) \)
4. \( \mathrm{t}_1-\mathrm{t}_2\)
