Answer:

The average speed is of 12 meters per second.

Explanation:

The average speed can be given by the difference in position divided by the different in time.

Average speed, between 5 and 10 seconds.

d(t) = 0.8t²

d(5) = 0.8*(5)² = 20

d(10) = 0.8(10)² = 80

Times: 5 and 10 seconds. So

v = (80 - 20)/(10 - 5) = 12

The average speed is of 12 meters per second.
