Which of the following options correctly describes the variation of the speed $v$ and acceleration $a$ of a point mass falling vertically in a viscous medium that applies a force $F = -kv$,where $k$ is a constant,on the body? (Graphs are schematic and not drawn to scale)

$A$ ball rests upon a flat piece of paper on a table top. The paper is pulled horizontally but quickly towards the right as shown. Relative to its initial position with respect to the table,the ball:
$(1)$ remains stationary if there is no friction between the paper and the ball.
$(2)$ moves to the left and starts rolling backwards,i.e.,to the left,if there is friction between the paper and the ball.
$(3)$ moves forward,i.e.,in the direction in which the paper is pulled.
Here,the correct statement$(s)$ is/are:
