# An object travels \( 30 \) \( \text{m} \) to the right in \( 5.0 \) \( \text{s} \), then \( 10 \) \( \text{m} \) to the left in \( 2.0 \) \( \text{s} \). It remains at rest for another \( 3.0 \) \( \text{s} \). What are its average speed and average velocity during the full \( 10 \) \( \text{s} \)?

An object travels \( 30 \) \( \text{m} \) to the right in \( 5.0 \) \( \text{s} \), then \( 10 \) \( \text{m} \) to the left in \( 2.0 \) \( \text{s} \). It remains at rest for another \( 3.0 \) \( \text{s} \). What are its average speed and average velocity during the full \( 10 \) \( \text{s} \)?

- **A.** Average speed: \( 2.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \); average velocity: \( 4.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \)
- **B.** Average speed: \( 3.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \); average velocity: \( 2.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \)
- **C.** Average speed: \( 4.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \); average velocity: \( 2.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \)
- **D.** Average speed: \( 4.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \); average velocity: \( 4.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \)
