Answer:

Average velocity= 1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

total distance covered = 10 meters backwards+ 20 more meters backwards

toatal distance= 10+20= 30 meters

time taken = 20 seconds

Required

The average velocity

Step two:

the expression for the average velocity is

Average velocity= total distance/total time taken

Average velocity= 30/30

Average velocity= 1 m/s
