Answer:

Speed equals distance over time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. The mathematical formula for speed of an object is given by :


v=(d)/(t)

d = distance covered

t = time taken

Speed of an object is a scalar quantity. Its SI unit is m/s or meters per second. So, the correct option is (c) "Speed equals distance over time".
