speed calculation

Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one point to another, calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. For example, if you drive 100 miles in 2 hours, your speed is 50 miles per hour (mph). It’s a way to quantify motion, helping us understand how fast something is moving regardless of direction. Speed can be constant or changing, but the basic calculation remains the same: distance divided by time. This measurement is fundamental in transportation, sports, and physics to analyze and compare motion.
