... Speed (measured in m/sec or ft/sec) is the scalar quantity that measures the rate at which distance is covered. Average speed is simply distance/time. Instantaneous speed, however, is how fast you are moving at an instant in time. It is the quantity measured by the speedometer in your car. The analo ...
