Question

If an object is thrown 60 m into the air and it takes the object 6 s to get there, what's the average speed of the object?

Answer 1

Average speed = total distance / total time taken
                         = 60/6
                         = 10 m/s

Answer 2

Answer : The average speed of the object is, 10 m/s

Solution : Given,

Distance traveled by the object = 60 m

Time taken = 6 s

Average speed : It is defined as the distance traveled by an object in per unit time. The unit of average speed is, meter/second.

Formula used :

$\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the average speed of an object.

$\text{Average speed}=\frac{60m}{6s}=10m/s$

Therefore, the average speed of the object is, 10 m/s
