There is a formula for this, first, you need to know the distance and the time taken for the object to move, then, use the following formula: speed = distance/time for example, a car is traveling 80 kilometers in 2 hours, so what would you do is 80 divide by 2 which gives you 40 km/h.

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.
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.
How do they calculate average speed?
Average speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance)
How do you calculate time with speed and acceleration?
Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration
Is speed that does not vary is called average speed?
No, speed can vary and one can still calculate the average speed of an entire trip. Average speed is equal to the change in distance divided by the change in time.
