You 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.

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.)

∙ 12y agoBecause that's the formal definition of the word.
-- "30 miles per hour" is a speed.
-- "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity.
-- "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour east"
are the same speed but different velocities.

What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
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
The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'
A force can cause an object to change its speed and or direction?
A force can cause an object to change its speed or direction. A force causes acceleration, as given by Newton's equation F=ma, where f is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Acceleration occurs when something either changes direction, like a tether ball is accelerating when it goes around the pole, or when the objects speeds up or slows down.Forces give energy to the object it is acting on.The more mass an object has, the harder it is to move, stop, or change the speed or direction of the object.An object will not start moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not stop moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not change speed unless a force acts on it.An object will not change direction unless a force acts on it.unbalanced
How can a force affect moving object?
because the force pulls up the moving object and it stops When a force is applied to a body, the body gets acceleration or retardation. so the moving object may move faster or may stop. when there is no force, the moving object will move with a constant velocity.
What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
Together the speed and direction in which an object is moving are called?
velocity
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
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 any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?
That's 'acceleration'.
How fast an object is moving regardless of the direction it is going?
distance covered by the object per unit time is the speed of the object.
What is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant called?
speed if no direction is needed velocity if direction is needed
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.
How fast an object is moving is called what?
It is called "speed." If the direction is also included, the measurement is "velocity."
What is the measurement that combines both the speed and the direction of a moving object called?
well i think its Velocity because it means speed and direction
What describes an object and speed and direction?
As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.
