Of course rate osf speed means acceleration, and of course rate of position
means speed (actually velocity).  "rate" implies "change" even if it is not
explicitly stated.  If the word "change" had to be used in all of these phrases
then the word "rate" , used alone, would have no meaning at all.

("osf" translates to "of")
