Speed
In everyday use and in
kinematics, the
speed of an object is the
magnitude of its
velocity (the
rate of change of its
position); it is thus a
scalar quantity. The
average speed of an object in an interval of time is the
distance travelled by the object divided by the
duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the
limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero.
