Speed is defined as the rate at which an object moves or travels. It is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude and no direction. Speed is typically measured in units such as meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h). Mathematically, speed can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]
where distance is the total path covered by the object, and time is the duration it takes to cover that distance. In contrast to velocity, which considers both speed and direction, speed focuses solely on how fast an object is moving.
