Answer: 23.4 m/s

Explanation: to solve for the average speed you do distance/ time. So you would do 375 m/ 16 min = 23.4 m/s

Answer: 0

Explanation: the jogger’s initial and final velocity was the same. (started and finished in the same place) magnitude is the change in position over time if you only know the average speed and time and not the direction than the magnitude of average velocity is 0 (sorry i didn’t explain that well. also i’m not 100% sure these answers are correct)
