An object is pushed across a tabletop and it travels 10 centimeters in 2 seconds. What is the speed of the object while traveling?(1 point) Responses 12 cm/sec 12 cm/sec 2 cm/sec 2 cm/sec 8 cm/sec 8 cm/sec 20 cm/sec

1 answer

To find the speed of the object, you can use the formula for speed, which is:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

In this case, the distance is 10 centimeters and the time is 2 seconds. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{10 \text{ cm}}{2 \text{ sec}} = 5 \text{ cm/sec} \]

However, 5 cm/sec is not one of the response options you provided. Can you please double-check the values given or specify if there's additional information?
