Average speed = Distance travelled/Time taken.

And that applies whether the object is going downhill, uphill or is on a roller coaster.

What is the acceleration of a car that is going at a steady speed of 60 mph?

At a constant speed there is no acceleration. Acceleration describes a positive change in speed meaning to go faster. Deacceleration describes how fast something is slowing down. But at a constant speed of 60mph there is acceleration or deacceleration.


How the velocity of an escalator that is going up different from the velocity of one that is going down at the same speed?

Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. Two objects moving at the same speed but in opposite directions will have opposite velocities. If the velocity of the elevator going up is v, the velocity of the elevator going down will be -v.

How does brakes and steering of a bicycle help with speed?

When going down a hill, you will pick up much more speed than if on flat roads. If you don't have brakes, you have very little chance of slowing down if something/someone goes infront of your path. The handlebars of a bike don't really affect the speed of the bike, that is more to do with navigation.
