===== Speed ===== **Speed** is a descriptor specific to motion. Speed describes the rate of change in any given motion. Speed can be defined absolutely (3 seconds) or relatively (faster, slower).\\ \\ {{ :speed.gif |}}\\ In this example, the square to the right becomes the primary figure within the sequence because of motion. The motion is a change of speed and the speed is based on a motion of changing direction (rotation, in this case). All three squares are rotating clockwise, but because the right square is rotating much faster, it becomes discontinuous.
