Understanding the Concepts

* Speed: Speed is the rate at which something moves. It's calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time it takes to travel that distance.

* Distance: The total length traveled. In this case, it's 5 meters.

* Time: The duration of the travel. In this case, it's 30 seconds.

Formula

Speed = Distance / Time

Calculation

1. Plug in the values: Speed = 5 meters / 30 seconds

2. Calculate: Speed = 0.1667 meters per second (m/s)

Answer: The speed is 0.1667 meters per second.
