What is the speed of an object that moves 320 m in 20 seconds?

8 m/s
16 m/s
20 m/s
64 m/s

The correct answer is: 16 m/s

To determine the speed of an object, you use the formula for speed, which is: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] In this case, the object has traveled a distance of 320 meters in a time of 20 seconds. By substituting the given values into the formula, the calculation will be: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{320 \text{ m}}{20 \text{ s}} = 16 \text{ m/s} \] This calculation clearly shows that the speed of the object is 16 meters per second. This result reflects the relationship between distance and time, illustrating how fast the object moves over the specified distance.
