Imagine pushing a micro-machine, speed is how much far the micro-machine go in a definite amount of time.

About the second one, it depends if the person is alive after the movement. You could ideally strap him to something that goes very fast, like a shuttle.

Speed is just a distance travelled divided by the time it took to travel that distance. The fastest moving things we observe in our universe travel at the speed of light, and “in theory” you could get a person to move close to the speed of light.

speed doesn’t exist, if you don’t find a relative you are moving from.

if you look at a car, from IT’S perspective, you can be moving backwards 60km/h

if you fly a plane, you are not moving relative to the plane, but are moving relative to earth

speed = distance * time

this above is all averge person should be concerned about, however:

The weird thing is that you can’t exceed speed of light in relative to anyone.

if you were to sit on a rock in space, and send two rockets at 60% speed of light in opposite directions, to eachother they WONT move at the speed of light, even tho for you both of them are moving at the 60% speed of light, with should add up to 120%

what would actually happen, is time would bend in a way that to eachother they will be less than speed of light

this is very confusing topic that you would probably need to take a physics course to understand
