meters per second
To find the speed at which the motorcycle was moving, we need to find the distance traveled per second.
The motorcycle traveled 10 meters in 1/3 of a second.
To find the speed, we can divide the distance (10 meters) by the time (1/3 of a second):
10 meters / 1/3 second = (10 * 3) meters / 1 = 30 meters / 1 = 30 meters per second.
Therefore, the motorcycle was moving at a speed of 30 meters per second.
