Answer:

=26.92 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is calculated as a ratio of the total distance covered ( It is directionless) to the total time taken to cover the distance.

Average speed= total distance/total time

                         =x/t

Total distance from the question= 3500m

Total time taken to cover the above distance = 2×60 +10=130 Seconds

Therefore, average speed= 3500m/130 s

=26.92 m/s
