Column $I$ describes some situations in which a small object moves. Column $II$ describes some characteristics of these motions. Match the situation in Column $I$ with the characteristics in Column $II$.
Column $I$Column $II$
$(A)$ The object moves on the $x$-axis under a conservative force such that its speed $v = c_1 \sqrt{c_2 - x^2}$,where $c_1, c_2 > 0$.$(p)$ The object executes simple harmonic motion.
$(B)$ The object moves on the $x$-axis such that its velocity $v = -kx$,where $k > 0$.$(q)$ The object does not change its direction.
$(C)$ An object is attached to a spring in an elevator accelerating upwards with constant acceleration $a$. The motion is observed from the elevator.$(r)$ The kinetic energy of the object keeps on decreasing.
$(D)$ The object is projected vertically upwards with speed $2 \sqrt{GM_e / R_e}$.$(s)$ The object can change its direction only once.

Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along the horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along the vertical axis. The phase space diagram is the $x(t)$ vs. $p(t)$ curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to the right) is positive and downwards (or to the left) is negative.
