The answer you are looking for is approximately 9.4 m/s.

Solution/Explanation:

First, writing out the formula for the speed of an object, encompassing distance and time, in meters per second, or m/s,

S=D/T.

"S" stands for "Speed."

"D" stands for "Distance."

"T" stands for "Time."

Speed (S)=????

Distance (D)=100m.

Time (T)=10.6s.

Substituting the given values of the variables,

S=100m/10.6s.

100÷10.6=9.43396226415≈9.4.

So, therefore, the final answer is approximately 9.4 m/s.

I hope that this has helped answer your question. Good day to you.
