A car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +27.3 m/s when its engine cuts out. For the next 2.57 seconds, the car slows down, and its average acceleration is . For the next 4.47 seconds, the car slows down further, and its average acceleration is . The velocity of the car at the end of the 7.04-second period is +18.8 m/s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is = 1.81. Find the velocity of the car at the end of the initial 2.57-second interval.
