If an object is in motion, we apply the term speed to the distance (displacement) it achieves for a given unit of time. If we take speed and add a direction vector, as is asked here, we are talking about the velocity of the object.

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 are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?
Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Velocity is the speed and direction. ex. 41 mph northeast
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?
That's 'acceleration'.
What 3 kinds of change in motion are called acceleration?
1). increase of speed 2). decrease of speed 3). change of direction of motion
What is the speed and direction of an object called?
Speed with direction is called 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".
A change in speed or direction?
A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.
Anything that causes and object to move or change its speed or change its direction is called what?
A force.
The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
What is it called when waves change there speed when they go in to different matereals?
This is related to a change in direction. The change in direction is called refraction. The numbers that describe HOW MUCH the speed of the wave slows down is called "index of refraction", especially in the case of light waves.
What is a sudden change in wind speed and direction called?
they are called monsoons
What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?
Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Velocity is the speed and direction. ex. 41 mph northeast
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object called?
That's 'acceleration'.
What is the name given to the change in speed or direction?
There is no special name for that. However, the rate of such a change is called acceleration.
What 3 kinds of change motion are called acceleration?
1). increase of speed 2). decrease of speed 3). change of direction of motion
What 3 kinds of change in motion are called acceleration?
1). increase of speed 2). decrease of speed 3). change of direction of motion
What do you call the speed over time?
As long as direction doesn't change, speed over time is called acceleration.
