The word speed is distance per unit of time. It is frequently used as a substitute for velocity, and it is in more common usage. But there is a difference between speed and velocity. Velocity has a direction vector associated with it. It's speed + direction. That's usually not a big deal when talking about "regular" stuff, but don't tell a physics teacher that.

What is an increase in velocity called?
an increase in speed - velocity is another word for speed
What is the word for the direction of an object in relation to another object?
Relative vector of velocity. "Bearing" is another possibility.
Another definition for acceleration?
Another definition for the word "acceleration" is "the rate of change of velocity per unit of time."
When we subtract a velocity vector from another velocity vector the result is?
Still another velocity vector (or a zero vector).
Does velocity indicates how long it takes to get from one place to another?
Velocity does not indicate the length of time it takes for something to get from one place to another. Velocity measures the rate of change of the displacement.
What is another word for zero velocity?
Zero velocity = No acceleration
What is an increase in velocity called?

What is another word for measure of speed and direction?
Velocity A Vector is the measurement of velocity and direction.
What is another word for fast that begins with v?
Velocity
What is another word for speed beginning with v?
Velocity.
What is another word for with speed?
swiftness, hurry, velocity, pace, acceleration.

What is the Spanish word for velocity?
velocity = la velocidad
What is the Swedish word for velocity?
Velocity is hastighet in Swedish.
What is another word for change scientifically?
Alteration, variation? (: Delta (Greek letter - triangle) stands for change. eg. Change in velocity = delta Velocity. Change in time = delta t.
