Is there a term used to refer to the following parts of these sentences (in bold):
Look out for the car travelling at high speed.
Catch me coming in hot.
I'm not sure if these can be considered adjectival clauses or if there's a better terminology for it.
Answer
In the first sentence, it functions as an adjective (answering the question which car to look for). It is referred to as a participial phrase.
See:
As to whether it is better to call it an adjectival phrase or a participial phrase, I would pick the latter since both its adjectival role and verbal category are specified.
