To calculate the object's average speed, you need two pieces of information:

1. Total distance traveled ($d$): The total path length covered by the object.
2. Time taken ($t$): The total time taken to cover that distance.

Average Speed Formula:

The average speed ($v_{\text{avg}}$) is given by the formula: $v_{\text{avg}} = \frac{\text{Total Distance Traveled}}{\text{Total Time Taken}} = \frac{d}{t}$

Given:

• Time taken $t = 45.0 \, \text{seconds}$
• Distance traveled $d$: (If you provide this value, I can calculate the exact average speed for you.)

Example Calculation:

If the object traveled a distance of $90.0 \, \text{meters}$ in $45.0 \, \text{seconds}$, then the average speed is: $v_{\text{avg}} = \frac{90.0 \, \text{meters}}{45.0 \, \text{seconds}} = 2.0 \, \text{m/s}$

This means the object’s average speed is $2.0 \, \text{meters per second}$.

Please provide the total distance if you know it, and I can give you the exact average speed.

Would you like more details on this? Here are some related questions that might interest you:

1. How is average speed different from average velocity?
2. Can average speed be calculated if the object changes direction?
3. How does average speed relate to instantaneous speed?
4. What are some common units for measuring speed, and how do you convert between them?
5. How does the average speed change if the time taken varies but the distance remains the same?

Tip: Average speed only considers the total distance and total time, not the direction of motion.
