A car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +30.0 m/s when its engine cuts out. For the next 1.79 seconds, the car
slows down, and its average acceleration is . For the next 4.03 seconds, the car slows down further, and its average acceleration is . The velocity of the car at the end of the 5.82-second period is +18.4 m/s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is = 1.53. Find the velocity of the car at the end of the initial 1.79-second interval.
