How do i calculate speed and find the direction of a moving object

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.

The direction of a moving object is the direction the velocity vector points in. Where v1/2 is the magnitude of the velocity halfway to the top of the trajectory. So vdown=−vup - the two velocity vectors point in opposite directions not the same direction.

Ithinks its false. tell me if im wrong
