TV announcer intend to mean "chnage of speed or velocity" by "High rate of speed" and in Physics domain it would mean "acceleration"
Explanation:
It is common to observe TV announcer saying certain events were occurring “with a high rate of speed”. By saying this they intend to mean that the event was rapid in its occurrence. It can also mean that the change in speed of the happening was very rapid/fast.
However, the same terms connote altogether a different expression in Physics domains. Speed is a scalar quantity with no direction. Hence most of the times speed mean velocity when the direction is also provided. “high rate of speed” would mean a change of velocity per unit time which is acceleration. Hence in Physics domain, the term would stand for acceleration.
