The speed of each meter per second is the same as 3.6 kilometers per hour. As an example, 10 meters per second is 36 kilometers per hour.

so you calculate for one second howmuch meters do you pass and the number that you had is your speed on meters per second

To find your speed per second, divide the distance by the time. If you walk 120 meters in one minute (which is 60 seconds), your speed is 120 meters ÷ 60 seconds = 2 meters per second. Therefore, your speed is 2 meters per second.
In general, the acceleration during that time interval could vary considerably. However, we can calculate the average acceleration during the interval. The change in speed is 20 meters per second - 5 meters per second = 15 meters per second, and this change in speed occurs over a 3 second interval. Thus the average change in speed over this interval is 15 meters per second/ 3 seconds = 5 meters per second per second = 5 meters/second2
The speed of an object falling from a great height is measured in meters per second per second until it reaches terminal velocity (maximum downward speed).
