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 name is given to the speed in a specified direction?
Velocity :)
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 speed in given direction?
The amount of speed in a given direction is the 'component' of speed in that direction. The total amount of speed AND the direction of the total speed is the 'velocity' of the moving object.
Why is speed vital part of expressing velocity?
"Speed" is the name we give to the magnitude of velocity ... the 'size' of the velocity, without its direction.
Velocity is the change of speed and direction of an object?
No. Velocity is the present speed and direction of motion.If speed or direction changes, then that's 'acceleration'.
What word means speed in a specific direction?
velocity is the name given to speed in a specific direction.

What is the name given to the change in speed and or direction of an object?
Velocity

Speed. however, if it is in a givern direction, e.g. ,speed in a northerlu direrction , then it is velocity.
What is speed is given direction?
The amount of speed in a given direction is the 'component' of speed in that direction. The total amount of speed AND the direction of the total speed is the 'velocity' of the moving object.
Why speed doesn't have direction?
speed does have direction :p
What is speed in a given direction is called?
Speed in a given direction is velocity.
What is speed in given direction?
The amount of speed in a given direction is the 'component' of speed in that direction. The total amount of speed AND the direction of the total speed is the 'velocity' of the moving object.
What is the name given to the change in speed or direction?
There is no special name for that. However, the rate of such a change is called acceleration.
What is the Name of the unit of measurement for speed and movement direction of computer mouse?
mickey is measurement unit of speed Of computer mouse.
Why is speed vital part of expressing velocity?
"Speed" is the name we give to the magnitude of velocity ... the 'size' of the velocity, without its direction.
Speed of an object in a paticular direction?
Speed =distance/time Speed in a particular direction become velocity, a vector, which has magnitude and direction.
