Question

an object travels 16m in 4sec and then another 16m in 2sec. what is the average speed of the object?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

5.3 m/s

Equation

Total distance = d1 + d2

Total Time = t1 + t2

Givens

Total Distance = 16 + 16

Total Distance = 32

Total Time = t2 + t1

Total Time = 2 sec + 4sec

Total Time = 6 sec

Solution

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

Average Speed = 32 / 6

Average Speed = 5.33 m/s
