Solution

The correct option is C 5 m/s
Average speed = Distance travelled / Time taken
$= \frac{36}{2} k m / h$
$= 18 k m / h$

The speed is in km/h. In order to convert it to m/s, we need to convert the units of distance and time

$18 k m / h = \frac{18 k m}{1 h}$

$= \frac{18 \times 1000 m}{1 \times 60 \times 60 s}$

$= \frac{18 \times 1000}{3600} m / s$

$= 5 m / s$
