The velocity of the car, \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), at time \(t\) seconds for the time interval \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 5\) is modelled by the equation \(v = p t ^ { 2 } + q t + r\), where \(p , q\) and \(r\) are constants. It is given that the acceleration of the car is zero at \(t = 5\) and the speed of the car then remains constant.
  1. Determine the values of \(p , q\) and \(r\).
  2. Calculate the distance travelled by the car from \(t = 2\) to \(t = 10\).
