Explanation:
Increase the temperature in Endothermic reactions (Reactions that absorb energy, or become cold) Decrease the temperature in Exothermic reactions (Reactions that release energy, or become hot) Add a catalyst (A substance that reduces activation energy, speeding up the reaction) Increase the concentration of reactants.

Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds
Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3 meters per second
