Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Rate of Change.
The rate of change of a physical quantity is its (first) derivative with respect to an independent variable which is usually, but not exclusively, time.
Loosely speaking, it means how fast something changes, with a wider scope than change in physical displacement.
Time
When the independent variable of a rate of change is time, it is commonplace to take that fact for granted, and refer merely to its rate of change.
