| d = Distance | ft | m |
| t = Time | sec | s |
Speed, abbreviated as s, is the rate of change or distance with time. Speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. It is the magnitude of velocity and does not take into account the object's motion in a specific direction.Unlike velocity, speed does not consider the object's displacement or change in position. It only reflects the rate at which an object covers a certain distance. Speed is a fundamental concept in physics and is used to describe the rate of motion of various objects. It is particularly useful in scenarios where direction is not a significant factor or when considering the overall magnitude of motion.
