A car moves along a straight road and its velocity-time graph consists of three sections: In section 1, the velocity is constant at $10m/s$ for $5$ seconds; in section 2, the velocity increases linearly from $10m/s$ to $20m/s$ over $5$ seconds; in section 3, the velocity is constant at $20m/s$ for $5$ seconds. What is the ratio of the speed in section 3 to the speed in section 1?
