I am working on a project that will measure and calculate the speed of a moving object and tilt angle
which accelerometer module will be suitable for this project
@PCB & Analog @MCU, MPU & Firmware

I suppose it would depend to some extent on your accuracy requirements. The MPU6050 was mentioned, in its defense I suspect there are more examples etc for it than just about anything else, so that might be a vote for choosing it. Also, they're not too expensive (though not certain how they stack up to others.
Depending on the situation, you might check out the XIAO nRF2840 board. Tiny and has an MCU built-in. I did a writeup on it here: https://embeddedcomputing.com/technology/open-source/development-kits/seeed-studio-xiao-nrf52840-sense-big-capabilities-in-a-small-package though haven't really used it since then....

In conjunction with some WIP guitar hacking for JCo Audio, I needed a very small dev board with battery management built-in for hassle-free portable usage. Per a suggestion, I got much more than that in the form of the Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 Sense.

You can use mpu6050 but they are not that reliable, you can try some 6-axis IMUs(smart elec) or BNO55
That a good one you may also want to make sure you calibrate it properly
Yes the calibration is hectic part
Few of the ST IMU are also decent with interesting features. I have used LSM6DSOX
any Video like on this will help sir
Which imu or sensor will you be using
Also there are different techniques and algorithm for the same so please mention that so I can help you
