Yes, it can mean speed, pace, rate. for instance, "i stor fart" means "at a high speed".
But it has another meaning. It is "journey". Its Norwegian synonims are reise and ferd.
But you might be asking for the Norwegian word for English "fart". Used as a noun, in Norwegian it is fjert (masculine noun). Used as a verb in infinitive, it is å fjerte.

Speed.
It's similar to the verb meaning 'to go' in German and cognate with the English 'fare' as in 'farewell' and 'welfare'.
In the 50's there was a song called 'The Happy Wanderer' which began 'My father was a wanderer ...' or, in German, 'Mein Vater war ein Wandersman ...' That would always make us kids giggle. ('V' is pronounced 'f' in German). The chorus (for us) went 'Val-der-i, Aha-ha-ha-fft, val-der-ah, aha -ha-ha-vvt ...' and so on!
