What is the rate of change of position at a specific point in time?
The rate of change of position is the velocity. The velocity at a specific point in time is called the instantaneous velocity.
Velocity divided by the time interval equals?
Change in velocity divided by time is acceleration, but velocity divided by time has no particular significance.
If Ben runs from a position 3 miles west of Main Street to a new position 45m west of Main Street in 6 seconds - What is Ben's velocity?
Velocity = distance divided by time / Velocity = average speed over time / Acceleration = (change of) velocity divided by time elapsed Change in velocity = final velocity "minus" initial velocity divided by time elapsed
What are the 3 things you need to find a change in position?
speed, time, distance
What is the difference of accelaration and decelaration?
Acceleration is an increase in change in speed over time of an object, and deceleration is a decrease in the change in speed over time of an object. -aerol-
What is something that changes position over time?
A person walking is an example of a change in position over time.
What Change in position over time?
velocity
A change in position over time?
The answer is displacement.
What is position over time?
Changes in position over time is motion, and the rate of change may be velocity or speed.
What is the change in an objects position over time without a direction?
Speed --- actually, if your question is 'position' over time, there is no answer since position is a vector quantity. And position divided by time will still yield a vector quantity-- velocity. If the question asks for change in distance over time, then the answer is speed. --gh ---
What is change in position over time is called?

How is position and velocity related?
Velocity is the rate of change of position over time.
Is an object's change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time?
In the question, "an object's change in position...over...time" is a perfectly reasonable definition of velocity.
