It has orders and equally distanced value between units , the zero point characteristic makes it relevant or meaningful to say “ one object has twice the length of the other “ example
4:3 is a ratio
If the position at time <em>t</em> is
<em>s(t)</em> = (1 m/s³) <em>t</em> ³
then the average velocity over <em>t</em> = 2 s and <em>t</em> = 2.001 s is
<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>s</em> (2.001 s) - <em>s</em> (2 s)) / (2.001 s - 2 s)
<em>v</em> (ave) = ((1 m/s³) (2.001 s)³ - (1 m/s³) (2 s)³) / (2.001 s - 2 s)
<em>v</em> (ave) ≈ (8.01201 m - 8 m) / (0.001 s)
<em>v</em> (ave) ≈ 12.006 m/s
