Answer: Approximately 6.67 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is a quantity measured in meters per second, so because the elapsed time is 5 minutes, let's turn it into seconds. 5 minutes multiplied by 60 seconds is 300 seconds.

2000 meters divided by 300 seconds is about 6.67 meters per second, which is the speed.
