HELP! 100 POINTS! A cinder block is pulled 0.50 meters to the right in 3 seconds. What is the block's average speed to the nearest hundredth of a meter per second (m/s)?

Answer:
The average speed of the blocks are 0.36 m/S.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered per unit time. So if it is said that blocks are pulled to 0.9 m in the right side. This means the blocks cover a distance of 0.9 m from the origin and that distance is covered in 2.5 s. Thus, the average speed can be calculated from the change in speed
with respect to time. As at time t = 0, the speed is
also zero, and at time t = 2.5 s, the speed will be
Speed =
0.9 = 0.36
2.5
Since, in this case, the speed is equal to the average speed of blocks. So the average speed of the blocks will be 0.36 m/s.

Speed = 0.9 = 0.36
2.5
