How do I calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration? I need the formulas too

Speed is the secular unit, which means it only measures "how fast it goes."

speed= (distance)/(time)
Velocity is a victory unit, which means it measures "both how fast it goes AND the direction."

velocity= displacement/time
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time.

acceleration = (change in velocity)/(time)
