#"average speed" = 0.8# #"m/s"#

Explanation:

We're asked to find the average speed of an object, given the distance it traveled and the time it took to travel that distance.

To do this, we look at the average speed equation:

#"average speed" = "distance traveled"/"time interval"#

We're given

  • #"distance traveled" = 4# #"m"#

  • #"time interval" = 5# #"s"#

So we have

#color(red)("average speed") = (4color(white)(l)"m")/(5color(white)(l)"s") = color(red)(ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" "0.8color(white)(l)"m/s"" ")|)#
