Open in App

Solution

Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered.
The rate of change of position of an object in any direction.
Distance = $D i s \tan c e = \frac{S p e e d}{t i m e}$
The S.I unit of speed is $m / s$ .
Speed is a scalar quantity. It has only magnitude, not direction.
