Velocity??? Are you mad?? The answer is "Acceleration" as explained below.
Velocity is not related to "rate of change", but its the speed in a specific direction, its a vector quantity!!
The closest answer would be "Acceleration".
According to Wikipedia, "acceleration is the change in velocity over time.[1] Because velocity is a vector, it can change in two ways: a change in magnitude and/or a change in direction. In one dimension, acceleration is the rate at which something speeds up or slows down. However, as a vector quantity, acceleration is also the rate at which direction changes."
Velocity = Speed in a direction
So, acceleration would account for the change in speed as well as the change in direction, with respect to time.

What is the rate of change of acceleration?
Velocity is the rate of change of position; acceleration is the rate of change of velocity; jerk is the rate of change of accelerationSee related link below for information on "Jerk"
What is the definition of velocity gradient?
With respect to material being sheared, velocity gradient is the change dv in relative velocity v between parallel planes with respect to the change dr in perpendicular distance r throughout the depth of the material. Velocity gradient has the same dimensions as rate of shear, which is reciprocal seconds.
What is the slope of the line tangent to the curve on a position-time graph at a specific time?
The slope of the tangent line in a position vs. time graph is the velocity of an object. Velocity is the rate of change of position, and on a graph, slope is the rate of change of the function. We can use the slope to determine the velocity at any point on the graph. This works best with calculus. Take the derivative of the position function with respect to time. You can then plug in any value for x, and get the velocity of the object.
How can I tell when two objects have the same velocity on a position graph?
If the position is graphed vs time, then the slope (rate of change of position with respect to time) will be the same (parallel).
What is acceleration multiplied by time?
Since acceleration is defined as change of velocity divide by time, it has units of (velocity / time). acceleration x time = (velocity / time) x time = velocity
The change in velocity in a particular time?
The change in velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration.
Velocity and Acceleration?
velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time where as acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect o tome.
How does acceleration relate to velocity and time?
rate of change of velocity with respect to time is the acceleration.
What is acceletaion?
The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
What is a change in velocity in a certain amount of time called?
Acceleration is any change in velocity during a length of time.
What is velocity's acceleration?
Velocity is the rate of change of position - i.e., the derivative of position with respect to time.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - i.e., the second derivative of position with respect to time.
What is velocity acceleration?
Velocity is the rate of change of position - i.e., the derivative of position with respect to time.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - i.e., the second derivative of position with respect to time.
Is it possible for an object to have an increasing velocity and an increasing acceleration?
If your acceleration is increasing then by default your velocity has to increase. Acceleration = velocity/time so if acceleration is increasing the velocity is also increasing... And just for fun, just as the change in distance is velocity, and change in velocity is acceleration with respect to time, the change in acceleration with respect to Time is called a jerk
What do acceleration measures?
rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
How is speed acceleration and velocity connected to motion?
Velocity is the derivate of position with respect to time (i.e., the rate of change of position). Velocity is a vector (the direction is relevant). If only the number is specified, not the direction, the word "speed" is used instead. Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time; or the second derivate of position with respect to time (i.e., the rate of change of velocity).
When do you have acceleration?
Whenever the velocity changes. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (in symbols, dv/dt), that is, how fast does the velocity change.
What is the theory of acceleration?
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
