Why is it better to give the actual speed of an object rather than to simply say it moved fast or it moved slowly

Chemistry

Specificity. It’s really loose to say that something is fast, since speed can be scalarly linked and relative. I could say that both a car on the highway is fast, but so is the speed of light. The actual speed of something helps to do away with the arbitrary nature of using “fast” and “slow”; however, we’re still at step one of the person who is receiving the information is unfamiliar with the scale that the actual speed is defined in.

Identify two ways that the rate of a chemical reaction could be increased
Svetlanka [38]
Increase the Surface Area of the Reactants. Increasing the surface area of the reactants increases the rate of the reaction. More surface area means more collisions of the reactant molecules and an increased rate of the reaction. This occurs when reactants are made to react in powdered form
