There is no special name for that. However, the rate of such a change is called acceleration.

What is the name given to the change in speed and or direction of an object?
Velocity
What word means speed in a specific direction?
velocity is the name given to speed in a specific direction.
What name is given to the speed in a specified direction?
Velocity :)
What is the name given to a change of direction of a ray of light?
'Refraction' and 'reflection' both change the direction of light.
What is the name given to the change in direction of the ray of light as it enters a prism?
Refraction
Which is not a way to accelerate an object?
One way to not accelerate an object is by trying to reduce its speed. In physics, a change in speed or in direction is called acceleration. One way not to accelerate an object is to change its name.
What is the name of the speed with direction?
Velocity is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object. It is a vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. The scalar value of velocity is speed. For example, a speed of "5 meters per second" is a scalar and not a vector measurement, whereas a velocity of "5 meters per second east" is a vector measurement stating both speed and direction.
What is the name given when light changes direction?
refraction
What is the name of how far something moves in a specific amount of time?
Speed. however, if it is in a givern direction, e.g. ,speed in a northerlu direrction , then it is velocity.
What is the name of the effect when light changes direction?
Reflection-when light change the direction of motion within same medium. Refraction-change of direction when moving to another medium.
Name a way to cause a change in velocity?
It can only be accelerated or decelerated, by adding to, or deleting from, the applied force causing the motion, or by increasing or decreasing the (opposing) frictional force. Acceleration includes starting. Deceleration includes stopping. Directional change may be imposed without causing a change in velocity, although practically, this change would be difficult to accomplish.
