Answer:

10 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 10 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 60 m

Initial time (t1) = 0 s

Final time (t2) = 5 s

Velocity (v) =.?

Next, we shall determine the change in displacement of the object and likewise the change in time.

This can be obtained as follow:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 10 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 60 m

Change in displacement (Δd) = d2 – d1

Change in displacement (Δd) = 60 – 10

Change in displacement (Δd) = 50 m

Initial time (t1) = 0 s

Final time (t2) = 5 s

Change in time (Δt) = t2 – t1

Change in time (Δt) = 5 – 0

Change in time (Δt) = 5 s

Finally, we shall shall calculate the velocity of the object as illustrated below:

Change in displacement (Δd) = 50 m

Change in time (Δt) = 5 s

Velocity (v) =.?

v = Δd/Δt

v = 50/5

v = 10 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the object is 10 m/s.
