In physics, if both the speed and the direction are specified, the term "velocity" is used.

What is called speed of an object at a given instant?

An objects speed at any particular moment in time is known as its instantaneous velocity. This is the rate of change or the derivative of the objects position.


Which word best fits the definition speed and direction of an object at a specific moment?

average velocity


How do you find the speed of a object?

Speed is an absolute unchanging linear distance crossed per unit time. Speed is not the same thing as velocity, and an object cannot exhibit a "rate of speed" since rate is velocity. Speed is determined by measuring the distance traversed over a specific unit of time. Since the object almost always is not at a constant speed, we are really estimating the average speed.


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.


Is instantaneous velocity the right answer to the question speed and direction of an object at a specific moment?

Yes it is. That definition is correct.
