To find the speed of the object, you can use the formula for speed:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 10 centimeters and the time is 2 seconds.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{10 \, \text{cm}}{2 \, \text{s}} = 5 \, \text{cm/sec}
\]
None of the provided options (12 cm/sec, 20 cm/sec, 2 cm/sec, 8 cm/sec) are correct based on this calculation. The speed is 5 cm/sec.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
