<u>Answer:</u> The average speed of the roller coast is 30 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

To calculate the average speed of the runner, we use the equation:

$\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

We are given:

Total distance traveled by roller coast = 3000 m

Total time taken = 100 seconds

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Average speed of roller coast}=\frac{3000m}{100s}=30m/s$

Hence, the average speed of the roller coast is 30 m/s
