Best Answer

Speed is equal to distance divided by time

Algebraically s = d/t

To do this mechanically, you need a clock/watch to measure the time. and some form of distance measure e.g. ruler, or mile posts.

In a motor car you have the speedometer and odometer. They measure the speed at any given moment, and the distance travelled.
