The correct answer is:
$20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{r}} & =\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{t} \\
1000 & =(\mathrm{v}-10) \times 100 \\
\mathrm{v} & =20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}
$$

\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{r}} & =\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{t} \\
1000 & =(\mathrm{v}-10) \times 100 \\
