### Step-by-Step Text Solution 1. **Definition of Speed**: - Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers distance. It indicates how fast an object is moving. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] This means that speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken to travel that distance. ...
