A car starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration \(a\) on a straight road from time \(t = 0\) to \(t = T\). After that, a constant deceleration brings it to rest. In this process, the average speed of the car is: 

1. \(\dfrac{aT}{4}\)

2. \(\dfrac{3aT}{2}\)

3. \(\dfrac{aT}{2}\)

4. \(aT\)

A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate \(f\) through a distance \(S\), then continues at a constant speed for time \(t\) and then decelerates at the rate \(\frac f2\) to come to rest. If the total distance traversed is \(15\ \text{S}\), then:

1. \(S = \frac{1}{2}ft^2\)
2. \(S = \frac{1}{4}ft^2\)
3. \(S = \frac{1}{72}ft^2\)
