Final answer:
The swimmer, traveling at an average velocity of 3.2 m/s, will cover a distance of 16 meters in 5 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a swimmer is traveling with an average velocity of 3.2 m/s, we can calculate how far the swimmer travels in 5 seconds by using the formula for distance traveled:
Distance = Velocity x Time
In this case, the velocity is given as 3.2 m/s and the time is 5 seconds.
Therefore, Distance = 3.2 m/s x 5 s = 16 meters.
The swimmer will travel a total distance of 16 meters in 5 seconds at an average velocity of 3.2 m/s.
