∙ 11y agoThe speed of the the object is 20/5 = 4 metres per second.
In order to answer the question in terms of velocity, it is necessary to know the direction of motion because velocity is a vector.

Just divide the distance by the time. (In this case, the speed in the answer will be in meters per second.)
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
It would be 50 meters/5 seconds! Or basically, 10 meters/second, Or basically, 600 meters/min, Or basically, 36000 meters/hour, Or basically, 3.6 kilometers/hour(kph), Or basically, around 2.237 miles/hour(mph). My calculations list will stop here...
Speed in physics is called velocity what you are looking for when you are talking about speed/velocity you are looking for an answer with the units being "distance/time" such as "miles/hour" in this case you are using the distance measurement of meters and the time unit of seconds therefore you want an answer in "meters/second." Ergo, you divide the unit of distance by time so it would be "45 meters/5 seconds" which would simplify to "9 meters/second" where the symbol "/" can be pronounce as "per" so it could be written "9 meters per second" I hope you did just get the answer, but rather some of the thought process of the issue.
20 meters per second
The rate at which an object moves in a given direction is its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of the object and its direction. It is typically measured in units like meters per second or kilometers per hour.

If an object moves 50 meters in 5 seconds, its average speed is 50/5 = 10 meters per second.
2 m/s
When velocity changes, the speed and/or direction of an object's motion is altered. This can result in acceleration or deceleration, depending on the direction of the change in velocity. If the velocity increases, the object is accelerating; if the velocity decreases, the object is decelerating.

Yes, it is possible for the average velocity of an object to be zero during a given interval even if its average velocity for the first half of the interval is not zero. This can occur when the object moves in opposite directions such that the distances traveled cancel out over the entire interval. For example, if an object moves 3 meters to the right and then 3 meters to the left in equal times, its average velocity for the entire interval would be zero.
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
If an object moves with constant acceleration, its velocity will change at a steady rate. The velocity will increase or decrease by the same amount each second until the acceleration stops.
The momentum of an object is in the same direction as its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on both an object's mass and its velocity. When an object moves in a certain direction, its momentum points in the same direction as its velocity.
Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the rate at which an object changes its position. It includes both the speed of the object and the direction in which it is moving. Velocity is typically measured in units of distance per time (e.g. meters per second).
