Answer to Question #34951 in Mechanics | Relativity for Katie

Question

A football coach starts at the 35 yard line and walks to the 15 yard line. He turns around and walks to the 40 yard line. He turns around again and walks back to the 0 yard line. He turns around once more and walks back to the 25 yard line, thus completing his 10 minutes of pacing. My question is what is the average speed? I am struggling with distance and displacement a lot and I cannot seem to solve this, even though I have been on it for a while today now.
