$A$ person walks along a straight road from his house to a market $2.5 \,km$ away with a speed of $5 \,km/h$ and instantly turns back and reaches his house with a speed of $7.5 \,km/h$. The average speed of the person during the time interval $0$ to $50 \,min$ is (in $m/s$)

Which information cannot be drawn from average velocity?

$A$ car travels half the distance with a constant velocity of $40 \, km/h$ and the remaining half with a constant velocity of $60 \, km/h$. The average velocity of the car in $km/h$ is

$A$ particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of $3 \, m/s$. The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of $4.5 \, m/s$ and $7.5 \, m/s$ respectively. The average speed of the particle during this motion is...... $\, m/s$

$A$ body travelling along a straight line path travels the first half of the distance with a velocity of $7 \,m/s$. During the travel time of the second half of the distance, the first half of the time is travelled with a velocity of $14 \,m/s$ and the second half of the time is travelled with a velocity of $21 \,m/s$. Then the average velocity of the body during the entire journey is: (in $\,m/s$)
