accelerating

How do you calculate speed?

Speed = distance travelled / time taken

It describes how fast one object is moving compared to another

Relative motion

The steeper the slope, the (faster, slower, stationary) the object is moving.

faster

How do you calculate average speed?

Average speed = total distance / total time.
