Answer:

7 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the speed of an object that moves 14 m every 2 s.

Speed

Speed is the ratio of distance to time. You are reminded of this when you think about how speed is expressed: miles per hour, for example.

speed = distance / time

speed = (14 m)/(2 s) = (14/2) m/s = 7 m/s

The speed of the object is 7 m/s.
