Velocity is the derivate of position with respect to time (i.e., the rate of change of position). Velocity is a vector (the direction is relevant). If only the number is specified, not the direction, the word "speed" is used instead. Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time; or the second derivate of position with respect to time (i.e., the rate of change of velocity).
It depends. Common units are metres per second in a specified direction, or kilometres per hour in a given direction. But it may be millimetres per year in a certain direction when studying plate tectonics.
Well, we know that velocity describes the speed and direction of motion, so you can't change either of those. We don't usually think of 'position' as a characteristic of motion, but if we try hard to please you, then we might observe that the position changes while velocity remains constant.
The change in an objects position is called motion.
Motion is the change in an object's position without including direction.
object,place,force,direction,speed and acceleration
I'm gonna have to say no. A compass is used to determine direction.
The phrase "change in motion" is rather slippery.The size of the change in the object's position, per unit time, in a specifieddirection, is the component of its velocity in that direction.The size of the change in the object's velocity, per unit time, in a specifieddirection, is the component of its acceleration in that direction.

When something is moving or in motion, it can be changing position and direction. However, the object does not have to be doing both at the same time.
Objects in motion continuously change position.To change direction, a force needs to act upon them.
Velocity
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
The velocity of an object, in a given direction, is a vector which measures the change in position, in that direction, per unit of time.
It depends. Common units are metres per second in a specified direction, or kilometres per hour in a given direction. But it may be millimetres per year in a certain direction when studying plate tectonics.
