Kira · Answer 1

Average speed = (total distance) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (15 x 10m) = 150 m

Time to cover the distance = 60 s

Average speed = (150m) / (60s) = (150/60) m/s = 2.5 m/s

We have no way to describe the frog's velocity, because we have

no information about the direction of any this activity.
