Answer:

12 cm/second

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the speed of an object, simply obtain the distance traveled by the ball and divide it by the total time it took to travel 60 centimeters.

⇒ Distance/Time = Speed

In this case, the ball traveled 60 centimeters in 5 seconds.

Therefore, the speed of the ball is;

60 centimeters (Distance)/5 seconds (Time) = 12 cm/second
