well i think its Velocity because it means speed and direction

How fast an object is moving is called what?
It is called "speed." If the direction is also included, the measurement is "velocity."
How velocity and speed differ from each other?
Velocity is a vector measurement, it has both a speed quantity, but also includes direction. Speed is a scalar measurement, it only concerns with the how fast the object is moving, not its direction
What is the speed and direction of a moving body called?
"velocity"
What is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant called?
speed if no direction is needed velocity if direction is needed
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?
That's 'acceleration'.

"velocity"
What is radial direction?
the direction of OP is call radial direction of the moving point p while the direction of OQ which is perpendicular to OP in the sense of (theta)angle is called transverse direction of the moving point P.
Together the speed and direction in which an object is moving are called?
velocity
What is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant called?
speed if no direction is needed velocity if direction is needed
What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?
That's 'acceleration'.
What are electrons moving in a current is called?
The speed at which electrons flow along the wire is called the current. The measurement for current is amps.
The slower moving superior-planets appear to reverse their direction of travel when what?
This is called the Retrograde
What is the tendency of matter to keep moving in the same direction called?
I believe this is known as inertia.
If a ferris wheel is rotating at constant speed is it moving at a constant velocity?
No. Velocity combines speed and the direction of motion.Constant velocity is constant speed in a straight line.In circular motion, the velocity is always changing even if the speed is constant,because the direction is always changing.
