Answer:

The speed is defined as the rate at which a particular object covers a certain amount of distance. This speed can be fast or slow. An object covering a great distance in short period of time indicates a high speed and an object covering small distance in a large period of time depicts a slow speed.

This can be mathematically calculated.

Speed= Distance/Time

The unit of speed is meter/second. It can also be written as m/sec.
