You're fishing for "acceleration", but your description doesn't support that answer.
Acceleration is also present if the direction of motion has changed, even if the speed
(the size of velocity) hasn't changed.
Acceleration explains the change in an objects velocity over time.

Which term explains wheather an objects velocity has increased or decreased over time?
Acceleration (a=v/t where a=acceleration, v=velocity and t=time; or Average acceleration= Δv/Δt, where Δv is the change in velocity and Δt is the change in time) shows the rate of change in velocity over time.If Acceleration (a) is positive, it means that velocity has increased over time and if it is negative, it implies the velocity has decreased over time [also commonly known as deceleration(-a)]

What is the difference between a objects speed and an objects velocity?
Velocity also includes direction.
What is a objects speed and direction?
Its called VELOCITY.

If two objects become closer together is the gravitational attraction between them decreased?
No, it is increased. If the separation is halved, the attraction is quadrupled.
Who discovered that all objectsheavy or lightfall the same velocity?
Galileo Galilei was the first to explain that heavy and light objects would fall the same way in a vacuum. Keep in mind, objects do not fall with 'velocity,' but with 'acceleration.'
Describe amd explain the relationship between water velocity and the erosion of clay and sand particles?
It is a direct relationship as the velocity of the water increases , the rate of erosion also increases. As the velocity increases it will pick up larger objects such as boulders and cobble but remember the biggest objects always get deposited first.

What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?
A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.
Is an objects momentum directly proportional to an objects velocity?
Yes: P=mv (momentum = mass * velocity)
Is it possible for an objects velocity to be perpendicular to the objects acceleration?
no
Explain the effect that gravity has on the velocity of falling objects?
The force of gravity causes the falling object's velocity to grow in magnitude by 9.8 meters per second every second, while its direction remains constant.
