The speed and direction of a moving object is called?
velocityYou mean, Velocity.. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement (position). It is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed, a quantity that is measured in meters per second (m/s or ms−1) when using the SI (metric) system.I linked my source.Speed in a specific direction is called velocity.speed is a scalar unit whereas velocity is a vector unit.Speed is the rate of change of position. In vector terms, speed is the magnitude of the velocity. (Velocity is speed and direction; speed is the velocity along a given direction.)
What is a antonym for the word specific?
I believe the word would be "General".
What types of change in motion causes acceleration?
Motion is the change of position over time. The rate of change of position is called or speed. Speed combined with its direction is called velocity. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. So, motion in which the speed or direction are changing is accelerated motion. The question uses the word cause, which may be confusing. Technically when a force is applied to a mass, there is acceleration. When there is acceleration the velocity changes. If the object was in motion to begin with, it would speed up or slow down or change direction. If the object was at rest, the force would have caused an increase in speed from zero, so it would start moving. Therefore if you think of a causal relationship, it would be more proper to say force causes acceleration, which IS a change in motion. For an example, an easy one is your bicycle. If you pedal, you are applying force. That force cause the bicycle's speed to increase ... acceleration ... and you are in motion. If you apply more force, you will go faster. If you apply the brakes, you will slow down which is also acceleration (because speed is changing). There is only one way to have motion without acceleration and that is to travel at a constant velocity ... constant speed in a straight line. In practice, there is no motion without acceleration for any period of time, because there is always some minute change in speed or direction.

What is the velocity and in what direction at time 9 seconds?
Without knowing some of the conditions that led up to the situation at 9 seconds, I'm afraid there's no way to figure that out. By the way, once you know the 'velocity', you know the 'direction'. 'Velocity' means speed and direction. It's not just a big technical-sounding word for 'speed'.
