4 A car travels along a straight road with constant acceleration. It passes through points \(P , Q , R\) and \(S\). The times taken for the car to travel from \(P\) to \(Q , Q\) to \(R\) and \(R\) to \(S\) are each equal to 10 s . The distance \(Q R\) is 1.5 times the distance \(P Q\). At point \(Q\) the speed of the car is \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Show that the acceleration of the car is \(0.8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
  2. Find the distance \(Q S\) and hence find the average speed of the car between \(Q\) and \(S\).
