different between variable intervals and fixed ratio
spatial
it matters in lots of cases. by definition speed or velocity is the ratio of distance traveled to time taken. In equation form v = d/t distance must be first. density is the ratio of mass to volume density = mass/volume mass is first
The retention factor of a particular material is the ratio of the distance the spot moved above the origin to the distance the solvent front moved above the origin.
If the first derivative of a function is greater than 0 on an interval, then the function is increasing on that interval. If the first derivative of a function is less than 0 on an interval, then the function is decreasing on that interval. If the second derivative of a function is greater than 0 on an interval, then the function is concave up on that interval. If the second derivative of a function is less than 0 on an interval, then the function is concave down on that interval.

ratio
Interval scales have measurements which are in equal distance from each other. For example, the difference between 70 degrees and 80 degrees is 10, which is the same as the difference between 40 degrees and 50 degrees. Ratio scales are similar to interval scales but include an absolute 0 measurement, which signifies the point when the characteristic being measured vanishes. For example, income (measured in dollars) at 0 means no income at all. Basically, interval and ratio scales are the same, but ratio scales must be able to be measured at a zero starting point.

Telephone numbers are actually nominal data.
Ratio. It has a true zero.
No.
The ratio you are referring to is called speed or velocity. Speed is the total distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance. Velocity includes direction and is a vector quantity, while speed is a scalar quantity.
It is a ratio scale of measurement.
