Answer: 10.3m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1): distance = velocity times time <=> d = v*t for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2): velocity = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3
