For a particle with position vector r(t)r(t) and velocity v(t)=r′(t)v(t)=r'(t), which of the following conditions must hold on an interval if and only if the particle moves with constant speed on that interval? a) v′(t)=0v'(t)=0 b) ∣v(t)∣2=0|v(t)|^{2}=0 c) ddt(∣v(t)∣2)=0\dfrac{d}{dt}\bigl(|v(t)|^{2}\bigr)=0 d) r(t)⋅v(t)=0r(t)\cdot v(t)=0
