When we talk about the speed of an object we usually mean the average

When we talk about the speed of an object we usually mean the average speed. A car may speed up and slow down during a journey but if the distance covered in one hour is 50 miles, we would say its average speed was 50 mph. When we are doing calculations using speed, distance and time, it is important to keep the units consistent. If distance is measured in kilometres and time is measured in hours, then the speed is in kilometres per hour (km/h). LJR March 2004
