Question

State whether speed is a scalar Quantity or a vector quantity give reason for your choice

Answer 1

Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings (despite their similarities), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.

Answer 2

Hola!!!

Speed is a scalar quantity because it has only magnitude and no dirrction wherias velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction
