Solution

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is how fast an object is moving.

speed=distance travelled /time taken

unit of speed = m/sec

Speed is a scalar quantity that is the magnitude of the velocity vector.

A higher speed means an object is moving faster. A lower speed means it is moving slower.
