Speed is measured in m/s (meters per second)
You can calculate speed using the following formula :
Speed = Distance/Time
Examples:distance=100 meters=20ss=d/t
s=100m/20s
s= 5m/s
the units for speed equal up to m/s units always.
so then your speed is 5 m/s

Is it easier to calculate speed or average speed?
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.
Can you calculate the initial speed from speed-time graph?
Yes.
Why can you only calculate a stone's average speed during its fall?
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.
What formula is used to calculate motion?
You can use a graph to calculate speed.
How do you calculate exact 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).
