Speed#=6.858m##/s#

Explanation:

The formula for working out speed is
#v=d/t#, where #v# is the speed in m/s, #d=# distance in metres and #t# equals time in seconds. In this question we see that #d=360# feet#=109.728m#, and #t=16# seconds. Plug these into the formula and we get
#v=109.728/16#
#v=6.858m##/s#. Therefore the average speed of the player is 6.858 m/s.

I hope I helped!
