What is Speed? Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one place to another. It is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude and no direction. Speed indicates how much distance an object covers over a specific period of time. The Speed Formula The basic formula for calculating speed is: Speed = Distance / Time Where: Distance is the total distance traveled (e.g., meters, kilometers, miles). Time is the total time taken to travel that distance (e.g., seconds, minutes, hours). Units of Speed The units of speed depend on the units used for distance and time. Here are some common units: Meters per second (m/s) : Used in scientific contexts and when distance is measured in meters and time in seconds. K...
