Answer: speed.

Explanation: Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is how fast an object is moving. Speed is the scalar quantity that is the magnitude of the velocity vector. It doesn't have a direction

Answer: Speed

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of a body is the rate of distance (in metres) that it travels in one second. Hence, speed unlike velocity, is total distance travelled by the body without regard to direction divided by the total time taken.

i.e Speed = Distance / time taken

Thus, the standard international (SI) unit of speed is metres per second (m/s)
