$A$ 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
    $4.0 \, m \, s^{-1}$
  • B
    $5.0 \, m \, s^{-1}$
  • C
    $5.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$
  • D
    $4.8 \, m \, s^{-1}$

$A$ 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
