Answer:

v= 1 m/s

Explanation:

we apply the uniform motion formula:

v= d/t Formula (1)

Where

v : is the velocity in m/s

d: is the distance in meters (m)

t: is the time in seconds (s)

Equivalence

1 km =1000m

1 minute= 60 s

Known data

d=0.30 km = 0.3 *1000m= 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 s= 300 s

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) for calculate the speed:

v= 300m/300 s

v= 1 m/s
