    Speed is defined as distance traveled divided by time taken and is measured in meters per second (m/s). Velocity includes both speed and direction of a moving object. Distance-time graphs plot distance on the y-axis against time on the x-axis and are used to determine speed from the graph's slope. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time and is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Velocity-time graphs show an object's speed over its journey and can be used to calculate acceleration from slope or distance traveled from the area under the graph.
