Why does velocity represents rate of change of displacement?
Because that is the definition of velocity
A quantity that represents the rate of change of distance over a period of time?
Speed
What is the physical significance of gradient of any physical quantity?
the gradient of a scalar function of any quantity is defined as a vector field having magnitude equal to the maximum space rate of change of the quantity and having a direction identical with the direction of displacement along which the rate of change is maximum.
The rate of change of displacement is called?
The rate of change of displacement is called a velocity.
What does instantaneous velocity mean?
Instantaneous velocity is a vector quantity representing the velocity Vi at any point.It is the time rate of change in displacement.
Is the change in position of an object when compared to a reference point defined as speed?
No, this would be "displacement" or "motion." Speed is the non-directional scalar quantity (magnitude) for the rate of positional change.
Rate of change of displacement?
velocity
What is the rate of change of displacement?
constant speed
Speed is the rate of change in what?
displacement or distance.
Velocity differs from speed in that velocity indicates?
Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that a body's speed and direction are both required to define it. They are different because: Speed is the rate of change of distance with time but velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
What the difference between negative rate of change and positive rate of change?
A quantity with a negative rate of change becomes smaller as time goes on. A quantity with a positive rate of change becomes larger as time goes on.
What is the time rate of change of displacement?
constant speed
