The object that describes the speed and direction in which something is going is called velocity.

Here's why:

* Speed tells us how fast something is moving.

* Direction tells us which way something is moving.

Velocity combines both speed and direction.

For example:

* "The car is traveling at 60 miles per hour" tells us the speed.

* "The car is traveling east" tells us the direction.

* "The car is traveling at 60 miles per hour east" tells us the velocity.
