Very important formula: (You should memorize it.)

Speed = (Distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Distance covered = (position at the end) minus (position at the beginning)

= (64 m - 4 m) = 60 meters

Time to cover the distance = 30 seconds.

Speed = (60 meters) / (30 seconds)

= (60/30) (meters/seconds)

= 2 meters per second.
