No, they are not all the same, they have similarities, but are not completely the same.
Speed is the distance travelled by an object in a certain amount of time, such as 5m/s (metres per second) so in one second of time, it would travel 5metres.
Velocity is simply speed including direction. So if something is travelling with a velocity of 5m/s North, and then turns to travel 5m/s West, its velocity has changed, but its speed is still the same.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It is calculated by the change in velocity devided by the time it took to change that much.

Kind of. They aren't exactly the same, but they are similar in a few ways.
Speed, velocity, and acceleration are the same.
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No they are not.
