It is referred to as an object's velocity. Speed, or rate of travel/magnitude, are combined with a direction ([up], [down], angles, etc.). This is often used in navigation, as well as in physical sciences such as astronomy.

What is the rate of motion of an object in linear motion?

That is the object's 'speed'.


Does motion create speed?

Motion and speed are synonymous terms, with just a slight difference of emphasis. Speed suggests fast motion. Other than that, they are the same thing. Speed is a form of motion, so in that sense, motion does crreate speed. Obviously, an object that is not moving has a speed of zero.

What happened to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases


What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

What happens to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?

The speed increases. The object accellerates positively in the direction of motion.

Does motion affect the speed of an object?

Short answer: yes. An object in "motion" has a "speed" simply by virtue of its being in motion. An object possessing a speed is inherently in motion. In this sense they have similar meanings. Speed is a rate of change in position. Motion is a change in position (in progress). In this sense, speed is more specific than motion in that speed has a quantitative value. Conversely, there can be no "speed" without "motion". To be complete, "velocity" is even more specific than speed in that it contains a rate of change in position together with a direction. That is, speed is a "scalar" quantity, and "velocity" is a vector quantity.


What is a change in an object's motion called?

A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".


What is the definition of speed of an object and specification of its direction of motion?

If the speed of an object is cited and its direction of motion is also cited, we have the velocity of the object. Velocity is speed plus a direction vector.


What changes can a force produce in the motion of an object?

it is speed of motion and direction of motion


How are speed and motion related terms?

Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving, while motion refers to the change in position of an object over time. Speed is a specific quantity used to describe how quickly an object is moving in a certain direction, which relates directly to the motion of the object.
