In Millikan's oil drop experiment, a charged drop falls with terminal velocity $V$. If an electric field $E$ is applied in vertically upward direction then it starts moving in upward direction with terminal velocity $2V$.If magnitude of electric field is decreased to $\frac{E}{2}$, then terminal velocity will become

  • A

    $\frac{V}{2}$

  • B

    $V$

  • C

    $\frac{{3V}}{2}$

  • D

    $2V$

A toy car with charge $q$ moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field $\vec E .$ Due to the force $q\vec E$ , its velocity increases from $0$ to $6\,\, m s^{-1}$ in one second duration. At that instant the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and tlie average speed of the toy car between $0$ to $3$ seconds are respectively
