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.
