Answer:

‘Speed is a vector quantity’ is a FALSE statement.

Explanation:

Vector quantity are those which have both magnitude as well as direction. Now speed has magnitude but no direction. The related vector quantity of speed is velocity. Just like scalar quantity speed can never have negative value.

Speed is the ‘rate of change’ of distance travelled. It does not depend on the direction of travel. On the other hand velocity is the direction depend speed which can be positive, negative or zero. Hence the statement is false.
