Can speed be measured in any other way apart from kilometers per hour and meters per second?

Certainly.
(any distance unit) divided by (any time unit)
is defined as a speed.
Here are some examples:
-- inches per day
-- light years per decade
-- furlongs per fortnight
-- kilometers per week
-- miles per year
-- millimeters per month

The distance between two identical points on a wave measured in meters?
Two points 360 degrees apart. That would be wavelength.
If a boy and girl are 244 meters apart and the boy travels at 1.5 meters per second and a girl travels at 2 meters per second how long will it take them to meet?
That's going to depend completely on the directions in which they travel. The minimum time it could possibly take them to meet would be 69.71 seconds (rounded), if they start out at exactly the same instant and each of them travels directly toward the other one. But it could be any amount of time greater than that.

A jet plane traveling at a speed of 82 miles per hour is traveling at what speed in meters per second?
Apart from the fact that a jet plane would stall at that low a speed, the speed is equivalent to 36.657 metres per sec

What is distance measured in in Physics?
It means more or less the same as in everyday life: how far apart two objects (or two points) are. If you know the coordinates of the two points, you can calculate the distance by using the Pythagorean theorem.
How far apart would two successive index contours be on a map with a contour interval of 5 meters?
Two successive index contours on a map would be 5 meters apart. The interval is how far apart two contour lines are, so since the contour interval is 5 meters the answer is 5 meters.
What is the distance in kilometers between Fujairah and Muscat?
They are 281 kilometers apart as the crow flies or 315 kilometers along Highway #1.
Why did Galileo fail at obtaining the speed of light when he attempted to calculate it by measuring the time it took to travel between two points?
His two observers were so close that the time it took for light to go from one to another and back again was too small to be measured with the clocks that he had. Even if he had observers 15,000 kilometers apart, the result would have been a time change of .1 second, too small to be accurately measured with the water clocks available to Galileo.
3cm represents 45 kilometers If two cites measure 10cm apart on the map how many kilometers are apart?
45/3 x 10 = 150 The two cities are therefore 150 kilometres apart in real life.
How far apart are the confederate and union capitals?
They are 106 miles apart.
Where does knots come from?
Knots is the form of measurement of the speed of boats. It was originally measured by a board being dropped in the water with a rope tied to it, the other end of the rope was tied to the stern of the boat. This rope had knots tied into it at 14.4 meters apart. The one sailor would use a 30 second glass sand timer while another would let the rope out behind the boat. When 30 seconds were up the number of knots on the rope that had gone thru the sailors hands were the speed they were traveling. Dividing that 14.4 meters by 30 seconds told them that one knot equaled 1.85166 kilometers per hour, or one nautical mile.
