Question 20

Question

An object moves a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds. What is the average speed of the object?

a
50 m/s
b
40 m/s
c
0.5 m/s
d
2.0 m/s

Answer 1

To find the average speed of the object, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} \]

In this case, the total distance is 10 meters and the total time is 5 seconds.

So, the average speed is:

\[ \text{Average speed} = \frac{10 \text{ meters}}{5 \text{ seconds}} = 2 \text{ m/s} \]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

d) 2.0 m/s
