Any object which moves has velocity.
Velocity is a vector quantity which includes direction so the object's velocity will change at every point in time if there is a nonzero acceleration.
An object going around in circles uniformly will have a zero average velocity when measured as displacement over a time interval if the time interval is a multiple of the period of revolution. Speed is similar to velocity but is a scalar quantity independent of direction; you can think of it as distance covered traveling per unit of time; that is what your speedometer measures.

The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'
What happens when you have unbalanced forces acting on an object?
Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.
What is the velocity of a object?
the velocity of an object is its speed and direction
How can you tell an object has moved?
Because of its velocity (velocity is the rate of change of position), an object will move. An object is stationary if it has no velocity because it will not be able to move without velocity. Therefore, you can tell that an object has moved because of velocity.
What is The greatest velocity a falling object?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
What is the difference between an object's speed and a object's velocity?
The difference between an object's speed and an object's velocity is that the object's speed is how fast it is going, and the object's velocity is how many units of speed the object has traveled.
What is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
An object traveling at a constant 20 miles per second in a circular path is changing what?
This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.
What describes the direction and speed of an object?
Velocity describes the speed and direction of an object.velocityvelocity
Rate of change of the velocity of an object?
The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
An object's speed and direction?
is velocity
Is the rate at which an object changes velocity?
No, velocity is the instantaneous speed of an object, the rate of change would be the acceleration of the object.
