5 A particle \(P\) moves in a straight line \(A B C D\) with constant deceleration. The velocities of \(P\) at \(A , B\) and \(C\) are \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 } , 12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and \(6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) respectively.
  1. Find the ratio of distances \(A B : B C\).
  2. The particle comes to rest at \(D\). Given that the distance \(A D\) is 80 m , find the distance \(B C\).
