As this has already been answered I will answer it again. The answer is called "Speed" because there is no direction given. If you were to travel at 45kl/h in a straight line, and then change to a N/W direction, then this would be known as your velocity even though you may still be travelling at 45kl/h.

∙ 13y agoThe object's average speed during that period of time.

(Not 'velocity'.)

How is the word 'work' defined in physics?
Work is the transfer of energy. It is performed when a force causes an object to be displaced causing the object to be moved in the direction of the force. Work = force x distance.
A measure of how far an object has moved from the starting point?
Distance
What distance was an object moved by a force of 45 N if the work was 675 Joules?
The distance moved by the object can be calculated by dividing the work done by the force applied. In this case, the distance is 15 meters.
The amount of force times the distance an object is moved is called what?
work
What is accomplished when an object is moved by force?
Work is done when a force acts on an object as the object moves from one place to another. Work is defined as force times distance.
What is the distance moved by an divided by the time it took to move that distance is defined as?
Speed
When work is being done an object is being what?
Moved. Work is defined as a force acting on an object through a distance.
How powerful are squirrel legs?
I guess this depends on your definition of power... scientifically power is defined as force times distance divided by time... the faster an object is moved over a given distance the more power that has been used in moving it.
How can you determine if an object has moved?
Judge by the distance it has moved in relation to another object.
The speed of an object in a paticular direction?
The speed of an object does not, by definition, have a direction. Speed is defined as the total distance that an object travels divided by the time that it takes the object to travel that distance. A similar concept which does have a direction is velocity. Velocity is defined as the displacement of the object (how far it has moved from its original position and the direction in which it has moved) divided by the time during which it moved. The difference between these two concepts can also be explained in terms of a runner completing a lap around a quarter-mile track. If it takes the runner three minutes to complete the lap, the runner's speed is .25miles/3minutes. The runner's velocity, however, is zero. This is because the runner starts at the same place that they end (because the track is a loop) so that at the end of the 3minutes they are back where they started which makes their displacement zero.

How do you Measure of how far an object has moved?
Distance
Is a measurement of how far an object has moved?
distance
What is the product of the force on an object and the distance through which the object is moved?
work
Force is applied to an object and the object is moved over a distance in the same direction of the applied force is the definition of?
Work is applied to an object and the object is moved over a distance in the same direction of the applied force.
What is the measurement of how far an object has moved?
That would be distance.
