If speed is calculated in meters per second, the invers (reciprocal, actually) would be seconds per meter. I don't believe there is a special name for that. Some of the more commonly-used units have special names, like "Newton" for force, but not every unit has its own name. For example, square meters are just called square meters, and the units for speed (meters per second) and acceleration (meters per second square) are called just that, and don't have any special names.

Perhaps you could use pace, as in running pace. Where someone could tell you their running pace is 5 minutes per kilometer.

If A student measures the speed of a rolling ball three times. She adds the measurements and divides by 3. What quantity did the student calculate?
She obtained the average speed of the three measurements.
Which quantity in the equatione equals mc2 represents the speed of light?
The quantity designated by the letter "c" is the speed of light
What does the inverse square law state?
any physical law stating that some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.
What quantity is calculated by multiplying three dimensions length width and height?
Area
How is division defined in arithmetic?
Division is a magnified decrease in quantity by separating one larger quantity into groups of smaller quantities. It is used to find out how many times one quantity is contained in another. It is the inverse of multiplication and is indicated by the ratio symbol (/). The result of division is known as the quotient.
Is their inverse relationship between quantity and price?
Yes.
The relationship between quantity supplied and price is direct or inverse?
As quantity supplied goes up, price goes down. This is because the supply function is downward sloping. Thus, the relationship is inverse.
What kind of quantity is speed an example of?
speed is a scalar quantity
The relationship between quantity demanded and price is direct or inverse?
direct
Is speed a scalar quantity or vector quantity?
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
If A student measures the speed of a rolling ball three times. She adds the measurements and divides by 3. What quantity did the student calculate?
She obtained the average speed of the three measurements.
Is it true that speed is calculated by dividing Time by Distance?
It is the inverse of that: you divide distance by time to find speed (rate of movement). Some common units are meters per sec (m/sec) and miles per hour (mph).
Is speed a scalar quantity?
speed has only magnitude but no direction associate to it, if you consider velocity it consists of magnitude along with the direction. Hence speed is considered as a scalar quantity
Does a supply curve show a direct or inverse relationship between price and quantity supplied?
Yes, it does.
Which quantity in the equatione equals mc2 represents the speed of light?
The quantity designated by the letter "c" is the speed of light
What does the inverse square law state?
any physical law stating that some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.
Is speed a derived quantity?
Velocity is a derived quantity. Speed is velocity without direction. Velocity is derived from distance and time.
