Understanding Speed and Motion: Equations, Calculations, and Graphs

Speed is defined as the distance traveled per unit of time and is measured using the equation Speed = Distance/Time, with units typically in meters per second (m/s). To calculate speed, measure the distance traveled and the time taken. Motion graphs can be used to visualize speed by plotting time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis. By analyzing the slope of the graph, you can determine the speed of an object.
