In physics, when the direction of a speed is of interest (i.e., you want a vector), it is called a "velocity".

The speed of an object in a certain direction?
Velocity. Velocity also has a vector, or certain direction.
The distance an object travels in certain direction in a certain time?
This is known as displacement, and is generally measured in meters :)
What refers to a speed of an object in a certain direction?
Velocity. Velocity is a vectored quantity, with a directional component.
Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?
Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
The speed of an object in a certain direction?
Velocity. Velocity also has a vector, or certain direction.
What is the term for the distance an object travels in a certain direction in a certain time?
it is its speed

What is the speed of an object in a certain direction?
Speed is distance/time or distance per unit of time. It is velocity that is distance/time in a given direction. Velocity can be said to be speed in a certain direction.
What is speed of an object but in a scientific direction?
It is a certain vector unit called velocity
What is an object speed and direction?
in terms of speed and direction , in what ways can an object accelerate
What refers to a speed of an object in a certain direction?
Velocity. Velocity is a vectored quantity, with a directional component.
What the speed and the direction an object are moving?
If you know the speed and direction of the object's motion, then you know its velocity.
What is the definition of speed of an object and specification of its direction of motion?
If the speed of an object is cited and its direction of motion is also cited, we have the velocity of the object. Velocity is speed plus a direction vector.
Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?
Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
What are the speed and direction of travel?
Speed and direction together are an object's velocity.
