    Answer: Speed is a scalar quantity while acceleration and velocity are vector quantity. Speed and velocity are measured in m/s while acceleration is measured in m/s²

    Explanation:

    Speed is the the of change in distance, velocity is the rate of change in displacement while acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. According to their definitions, they body that possesses them are all covered in a specific time interval. Bodies that possesses speed, velocity and acceleration are in motion i. e they all possess kinetic energy.

    Some of the similarities between speed and velocity is that they both have the same unit which is meters per seconds (m/s) compare to acceleration which has its unit as meter per second square (m/s²).

    Some of their differences is that speed has only magnitude but no direction (a scalar quantity) while velocity and acceleration has both magnitude and direction (a vector quantity.
