An object moves a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds. What is the average speed of the object?
a
0.5 m/s
b
50 m/s
c
2.0 m/s
d
40 m/s
Average speed is calculated as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
In this case, the total distance traveled is given as 10 meters and the total time taken is given as 5 seconds.
Average speed = 10 meters / 5 seconds
Average speed = 2 meters/second
Therefore, the average speed of the object is 2.0 m/s.
The correct answer is c) 2.0 m/s.
