velocity
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.

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 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.

Speed of an object but in specific direction?

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction. It includes not just how fast an object is moving, but also the direction in which it is moving.


What is the speed and direction of a moving body called?

The speed and direction of a moving body is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed of an object and the direction in which it is moving.


How fast an object moves in the direction it moves?

The speed of an object moving in a specific direction is called its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the speed of the object and the direction in which it is moving. Speed only describes how fast an object is moving without specifying the direction.


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.


How fast an object is moving is called what?

It is called "speed." If the direction is also included, the measurement is "velocity."


Together the speed and direction in which an object is moving are called?

velocity


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 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 is the direction of velocity in a moving object?

The direction of velocity in a moving object indicates the speed and the direction in which the object is moving. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (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?

What is speed in given direction?

Speed in a given direction refers to velocity, which is a vector quantity that includes both the magnitude (speed) and direction of an object's motion. It describes how fast an object is moving in a specific direction.
