The The distancedistance an an object moves in a object moves in a given amount of given amount of timetime which which determines the determines the speedspeed..

Speed is Speed is measured in measured in units of units of metersmeters per per secondsseconds or or kilometerskilometers per per hourhour. .

The The formula formula for finding for finding speed is: speed is:
