An object moves a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds. What is the average speed of the object?
a
2.0 m/s
b
50 m/s
c
40 m/s
d
0.5 m/s
The average speed of an object is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, the object traveled a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds.
Average speed = distance / time
Average speed = 10 meters / 5 seconds
Average speed = 2 meters per second
Therefore, the average speed of the object is 2.0 m/s.
