• The car moved at a speed of 5 meters per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a slower speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 5 meters per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a faster speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 1 meter per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a slower speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 1 meter per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a faster speed during the next 5 seconds.
