Answer:

  • A: 0.32 m/s
  • B: 0.56 m/s

Explanation:

The speed is the ratio of the change in distance to the corresponding change in time.

Vehicle A moves from a position of 12 m to one of 28 m in 50 seconds, so its speed is ...

A = (28 -12)/50 m/s = 16/50 m/s = 0.32 m/s

Vehicle B moves from 0 to 28 m in 50 seconds, so its speed is ...

B = (28 m)/(50 s) = 0.56 m/s
