$A$ particle is released from height $S$ above the surface of the earth. At a certain height,its kinetic energy is three times its potential energy. The height from the surface of the earth and the speed of the particle at that instant are respectively:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R).$
Assertion $(A):$ Kinetic energy of a system can increase without applying external force on the system.
Reason $(R):$ If external forces are absent,then the work done by internal forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ child is swinging on a swing. The minimum and maximum heights of the swing from the earth's surface are $0.75\,m$ and $2\,m$ respectively. The maximum velocity of this swing is ............. $m/s$.
