Explanation:

Step1: Recall the speed formula

Speed \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d\) is distance and \(t\) is time.

Step2: Substitute the values

Given \(d = 1000\) meters and \(t=135\) seconds. Then \(v=\frac{1000}{135}\).

Step3: Calculate the value

\(\frac{1000}{135}\approx7.41\) (rounded to two decimal places)

Answer:

7.41 m/s
