Railroads made travel between towns and cities easier and faster. Before the popularization of railroads, each area had it's own time based on noon being when the sun was straight up in the sky. This led to some confusion about travel times and such, so they made set time zones for areas to group together under.

What is change in velocity of a moving body in unit time called?
Acceleration. This is measured in metres per second per second. As you pointed out in the question this is change in velocity (or speed) over a specific time period. The equation for acceleration is: Acceleration (m/s/s) = delta v (change in velocity measured in m/s) / delta t (change in time measured in seconds)
Can time be measured in distance?
No Duh!!. You can't measure time .You people are dumb
Why is acceleration measured in meters seconds squared?
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, that is the finishing velocity minus the starting velocity divided by the time taken for that change. Velocity is the rate of change in distance, that is the finishing distance minus the starting distance divided by the time taken for that change. Distance may be measured in metres and time in seconds. In that case velocity would be measured in metres per second. Acceleration is then measured in (metres per second) per second or metres per second2.
What is the formula for time when dealing with velocity and acceleration?
Velocity is measured in m/s and the direction is mentioned. Speed is also measured in m/s but the direction is not mentioned.Acceleration is measured in m2/s; it is the rate of change of velocity.
How did the gold rush expand the American economy?
the gold rush made people move out to Cali because everyone wanted gold. This brought the railroad into play to move people around; therefore making the time change
Was Harriet Tubman almost captured during her time in the underground railroad?
No she wasn't, because she knew shortcuts to where to go to when she was leading people to the Underground Railroad.
What changes did the railways bring to the time that people set their clocks and watches?
Railroad standard time. The origin of the time zones around the world.

What is time measured according to?
Time is measured according to
What speed is measured in kilometers per hour and time is measured in hours the unit of acceleration is?
Divide speed by time. In this case, you get (kilometers / hour) / hour, or kilometers/hour2. That means, how much does the speed change in an hour.
What is railroad time?
Standard Time Zones created by the railroad industry in the 1880's rather than solar time.
What is a Morphological Rate?
Rate of change of morphological traits, typically measured by quantitative measures - Changes in disparity over time.
