Everything about Speed
Magnitude of velocity
In kinematics, the speed of a moving object is the rate at which the distance travelled by the object changes with time. The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity, which indicates additionally the direction of motion. Wikipedia →

📖 Definitions
Noun The state of moving quickly or the capacity for rapid motion.
Noun The rate of motion or action, specifically the magnitude of the velocity; the rate distance is traversed in a given time.
Noun The sensitivity to light of film, plates or sensor.
Noun The duration of exposure, the time during which a camera shutter is open (shutter speed).
