$A$ particle moving along a straight line covers the first half of the distance with a speed of $3 \, m \, s^{-1}$. The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of $4.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ and $7.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ respectively. The average speed of the particle during the motion is:

$A$ car accelerates from rest with $2 \,m/s^2$ on a straight line path and then comes to rest after applying brakes. Total distance travelled by the car is $100 \,m$ in $20 \,s$. Then, the maximum velocity attained by the car is (in $\,m/s$)
