Question

An object travels 16 m in 4s and then another 16 m in 2s. What is the average speed of the object

Answer 1

Answer:

5.33 m/s

Explanation:

average speed is simply total distance/ total time.

total distance in this case is 16+16= 32m

total time is 4+2=6 seconds.

average speed is 32/6 = 5.33m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

total distance travelled by the object =16m+16m=32

total time taken =4s+2s=6s

average speed = total distance travelled ................

...................................... total time taken

=32m/6

=5.33m s-¹

therefore, the average speed of the object is 5.33m s-¹
