The term rate refers to a quantity of one item in relation to another item used as a standard. A popular example is speed. Speed is a measure of distance traveled through time and is measured as meters per second. Another example is acceleration, which is a measure of speed through time or simply how fast an object is gaining speed and is measured in meters per second squared.
