Answer: Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time

Velocity, by definition, is a vector quantity that indicates distance per time and direction

Acceleration. In physics or physical science, acceleration (symbol: a) is defined as the rate of change (or derivative with respect to time) of velocity. It is thus a vector quantity with dimension length/time². In SI units, acceleration is measured in meters/second² using an accelerometer

Speed is how fast something is going, velocity is speed AND distance, and acceleration is how fast you’re speeding up.
