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

The average speed is the speed, regardless of the direction.
ANSWER:No. You don't. In order to find average speed, you need other variables, either time or distance to calculate an average speed. You might only see a train going up a steep slope at 15 mph everyday and think that's the slowest train in the world. Not knowing that on the other side of the hill it reaches 90 mph on the downslope.Wiki User

What happens to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
The speed increases. The object accellerates positively in the direction of motion.
What is a change in an object's motion called?
A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object?
This is one definition of acceleration (including deceleration) - any change in the speed of motion of a moving object, or in the direction of its motion. Motion is a vector value with both speed and direction.
What changes can a force produce in the motion of an object?
it is speed of motion and direction of motion
How is motion related to velocity?
If an object is in motion it has a Velocity, which is speed and direction.
What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
What happened to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
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.
What is speed of motion?
The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.
What happens to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
The speed increases. The object accellerates positively in the direction of motion.
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 a change in an object's motion called?
A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
What includes the speed of the object and the direction of its motion?
Speed and direction is called velocity.
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object?
This is one definition of acceleration (including deceleration) - any change in the speed of motion of a moving object, or in the direction of its motion. Motion is a vector value with both speed and direction.
Is speed of an object and its direction of motion?
Velocity
What is the speed of an object and its direction of motion?
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).
