That's called acceleration.

Definition: acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity (or speed) changes. Average acceleration = Δv / Δt (change in velocity divided by time). SI unit: meters per second squared (m/s²).

Note: "deceleration" is a common term for acceleration directed opposite the motion (slowing down).
