When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the velocity of the object?

Yes. Velocity is a vector quantity that needs a magnitude (speed is the corresponding scalar to velocity) and a direction.

Is velocity a change in an objects motion?
Velocity is a change in an object's motion OR direction of motion.
What is the difference of an objects speed and an objects volocity?
when you know both speed and direction of an objects motion you know the velocity of an object.
The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'
Speed and direction of motion?
the speed of motion is determined by how fast the object in motion is traveling along with the distance it has traveled. the direction of motion can be discovered by either using a frame of reference (point of comparison) or simple devices such as a compass.
How is motion related to velocity?
If an object is in motion it has a Velocity, which is speed and direction.
What is a force that causes an object to change its motion?
I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.
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.
The speed and direction of an object's motion?
Its velocity vector.
What is the speed of an object and its direction of motion?
Velocity
Is speed of an object and its direction of motion?
Velocity
When you know the speed and the direction of an object's motion you know what?
The magnitude and direction of the object's velocity vector.
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".
