Answer:

9 m/s

Explanation:

Wyatt maintains the maximum speed for the rest of the race. This motion begins when his displacement is 40 m and the time is 7 s. At time 12 s, his displacement is 85 m. Because this motion is constant-velocity, the maximum speed is given by

[tex]v_\text{max} = \dfrac{85-40}{12-7} = \dfrac{45}{5} = 9 \text{ m/s}[/tex]
