What is the unit of the rate of change?
Usually (distance unit) per (time unit) per (second time unit). EX: miles per hour per minute.
How do you solve time if given speed and distance?
Speed is defined as distance covered per unit of time, so distance divided by speed equals time. For example, if you are travelling for 200 miles at a speed of 60 miles per hour, 200 miles/60 mph = three and a third hours.
A measure of how quickly something travels a distance in a given unit of time?
Velocity is distance per unit time, it is measured in meter per second. (m/s)
The distance an object travels per unit of time?
Speed
What is the definition of speed?
Speed is distance traveled through motion per some unit of time. It can also be defined as the rate of change in position along a single path. Speed is a scalar value, not a directional one.It is similar to the definition of "velocity", except that in "velocity", the direction is also important. If the velocity is constant, you can simply divide distance traveled by time. The general case, however, is that velocity is the derivative of position, with respect to time. In symbols: v = ds/dt. If you are not familiar with derivatives, this basically means that to get the instant velocity, you divide the distance traveled by the time it takes, for a very short time period.Speed is the Distance covered per unit time. where as velocity is the Displacement per unit time. Distance is the actual length covered by the Object between two endpoints & Displacement is the length in the straight line between two points.
