Kinematics - Distance, Time, Speed

Speed
- Distance moved per unit time
- Average speed (Total distance travelled / Total time taken)
- Uniform speed (Constant)

Straight graph -> Object moving with uniform speed
Curved graph -> Object moving with non-uniform speed

Instantaneous speed
-> How fast an object is moving at a particular instant
-> Gradient of the tangent at a point n the distance-time graph
