Homework Statement


If acceleration is not equal to 0, then which of the following must not be able to stay constant?
I: Speed
II: Linear Momentum
III: Kinetic Energy

(Select any 1, 2, or all of the above, or all of the above)

Homework Equations


KE = (1/2)mv^2
P = mv

The Attempt at a Solution


I think that it's only II... I thought that speed can stay constant (for example centripetal acceleration) and kinetic energy by the same reason can stay constant...
