I'm sure that average speed would be easier to calculate than instantaneous speed. To calculate average speed, just take the time that it takes to travel between two points, and divide that into the distance between the points.
Yes.
That is just not true! If you can calculate its average speed you should be able to calculate its speed at any point in time during its flight, including its final velocity.
You can use a graph to calculate speed.
You can calculate a speed by dividing a distance by the time it takes to cover that distance. If you want the instantaneous speed (for situations of variable speed), you need to calculate the distance and time for a fairly short time interval (ideally, the limit, when the time approaches zero).
That depends on the speed. Divide the distance by the speed to calculate this.That depends on the speed. Divide the distance by the speed to calculate this.That depends on the speed.

Speed = Wavelength X Frequency
time = distance ÷ speed
Speed = Wavelength X Frequency

You can calculate speed by dividing the force by the mass to get acceleration, and then multiplying the acceleration by time. Speed = acceleration x time.
To calculate force when given speed, you would need to know the mass of the object. The equation that relates force, speed, and mass is F = m*a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration (change in speed over time). Without knowing the mass or acceleration, it is not possible to calculate the force.
