Answer:

v = 1.82 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that average speed is defined as the total distance covered in total interval of time.

So here given that

total distance = 100 m

total time = 55 s

so here from above formula


v_(avg) = (d)/(t)


v_(avg) = (100)/(55)


v_(avg) = 1.82 m/s

so the average speed of the swimmer will be 1.82 m/s
