Answer:

The frog's horizontal velocity is 0.2 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must first remember what velocity is and how we solve for it. Velocity can be solved for using the formula x/t, where x represents horizontal distance and t represents time (in seconds), that it takes to travel this distance. If we plug in the given numbers for these variables and solve, we get the following:

v = x/t

v = 0.8m/4s

v = 0.2 m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2 m/s. We can verify that these units are correct because the formula calls for distance divided by time, so meters per second is a sensible answer.

Hope this helps!
