The line segment marked 'A' goes from the starting point to the distance of 30km in 2 seconds.

Speed = (distance) / (time)

Speed = (30 km) / (2 seconds)

Speed = 15 km/s

There's not enough given information to figure out the velocity.

Answer:

15 km/s from the starting point

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is total distace divided by total time.

From the picture, you can see that line consecutively traveled 30 kilometers- in 2 seconds.

(9 to 11 is two seconds, unless I'm wrong.)

So, total distance = 30 km. Total time = 2 seconds.

30/2 is 15.

the velocity of line A is 15 km/s from the starting point.
