Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use this formula to find the average speed or velocity of an object

speed = displacement / elapsed time

Plugging in our values....

speed = 2500 m / 40 seconds

= 62.5 m/s

*if your teacher required you to round to significant figures, you would round this number to 60, as 40 seconds only has 1 significant figure (the number with the least amount of sig figs determines the number of sig figs in the final answer)*

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
