Answer:


v=0.25 (m)/(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the average velocity is computed as the change in the distance divided by the elapsed time:


v=(\Delta x)/(\Delta t)

As 4 m were displaced in 16 seconds, the average speed turns out:


v=(4m)/(16s) \\\\v=0.25 (m)/(s)

Best regards.
