A particle of mass $m$ moves on the x-axis as follows : it starts from rest at $t = 0$ from the point $x = 0$ and comes to rest at $ t= 1$ at the point $x = 1$. No other information is available about its motion at intermediate time $(0 < t < 1)$. If $\alpha $ denotes the instantaneous acceleration of the particle, then
