The speed of an object in a certain direction?

Velocity. Velocity also has a vector, or certain direction.


What is the term for the distance an object travels in a certain direction in a certain time?

it is its speed


The distance an object travels in certain direction in a certain time?

This is known as displacement, and is generally measured in meters :)


Speed of an object but in a certain direction?

In physics, when the direction of a speed is of interest (i.e., you want a vector), it is called a "velocity".


What is the speed of an object in a certain direction?

Speed is distance/time or distance per unit of time. It is velocity that is distance/time in a given direction. Velocity can be said to be speed in a certain direction.


What is speed of an object but in a scientific direction?

It is a certain vector unit called velocity


What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).


What is an object speed and direction?

How is speed different than velocity?

Speed does not have the direction associated with it, like velocity does.


What the speed and the direction an object are moving?

If you know the speed and direction of the object's motion, then you know its velocity.


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.


Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?

Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.
