In chemistry and physics:
* [[Speed]], the rate of change of [[Position (vector)|position]], or the change of position per unit of time
* [[Acceleration]], the rate of change in speed, or the change in speed per unit of time
* [[Power (physics)|Power]], the rate of doing [[Work (physics)|work]], or the amount of [[energy (physics)|energy]] transferred per unit time
* [[Frequency]], the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time
** [[Angular frequency]] and [[rotation speed]], the number of [[Turn (angle)|turns]] per unit of time
* [[Reaction rate]], the speed at which chemical reactions occur
* [[Volumetric flow rate]], the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit of time; e.g., [[cubic meters per second]]

===Counts-per-time rates===

* [[Radioactive decay]], the amount of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second, measured in [[becquerel]]s

In computing:
* [[Bit rate]], the number of bits that are conveyed or processed by a computer per unit of time
* [[Symbol rate]], the number of symbol changes (signaling events) made to the transmission medium per second
* [[Sampling rate]], the number of samples (signal measurements) per second

Miscellaneous definitions:
* [[Rate of reinforcement]], number of reinforcements per unit of time, usually per minute
* [[Heart rate]], usually measured in beats per minute
