Speed is a measure of the RATE at which a Distance is traversed. The units of distance would be Feet, inches, meters, etc. The units of Speed are Feet/Sec, inches/hour, meters/month, etc.

When you speak of VELOCITY, you are adding the additional measure of DIRECTION. Direction may be expressed in Angular Degrees, Left or right, North, South, East, West, etc.

What is the difference between actual speed and average speed?

Actual speed is the speed you are traveling at any given moment at any given point. Average speed is figured by dividing the distance you traveled by the time it took you to drive that distance.


What is the difference between energy and powe and how are they measured?

Power is energy / time, energy is power x time.This is similar to the distinction between distance and speed: speed = distance / time; at constant speed, distance = speed x time.Enery is measured in Joules, power is measured in Joules / second, a.k.a. "Watts".


What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?

Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
