Velocity is a measure of both an object's speed and its what?
Direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. Vectors have a scalar size and a vector direction.
What is the definition of speed and the definition of velocity?
Speed is how fast something is going when the direction in which it is travelling is unimportant. Velocity is a measurement of the rate at which an object is changing its position. As such, in order to measure it, one must define both the speed at which an object is moving, and also the direction of movement.
What can describe both the speed and direction of an object's motion?
the object's velocity
What quantity gives both the speed and the direction of an object?
Velocity gives both speed and direction of an object. While speed is a scalar quantity, velocity is a vector quantity and require direction or bearing in order to be valid.
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?
No. For you to know acceleration you need the rate of change of speed and the direction.

What is accerlation?
Change of speed or direction or both of an object.

Velocity gives both speed and direction of an object. While speed is a scalar quantity, velocity is a vector quantity and require direction or bearing in order to be valid.
Can forces acting on an object change speed direction or both?
Both.
What describes both speed and direction?
Velocity describes both the speed and direction an object is moving.
When you know both the speed and the direction of an object's motion, you know the?
velocity of the object
When you know both the speed and direction of an object in motion you know the?
object's velocity
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?
No. For you to know acceleration you need the rate of change of speed and the direction.
