Answer:

E 8 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the velocity (the speed) is the number of meters divided by the number of seconds. (That's what meters per second means.)

|V| = (16 m)/(2 s) = (16/2) m/s = 8 m/s

Velocity is a vector quantity, so must include a <em>direction</em> along with the <em>magnitude</em>.

V = E 8 m/s
