An object moves a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds. What is the average speed of the object?
a
50 m/s
b
2.0 m/s
c
40 m/s
d
0.5 m/s
To calculate the average speed of an object, we divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the object moved a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds. Thus, the average speed is:
Average speed = Distance/Time = 10 meters / 5 seconds = 2 meters/second
Therefore, the average speed of the object is 2.0 m/s.
Option b) 2.0 m/s is the correct answer.
