Question

State whether speed is scalar or vector quantity give reason for this

Answer 1

speed is the scaler quantity because speed has only magnitude and scaler quantity has only magnitude and vector quantity has both direction and as well as magnitude

Answer 2

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. Speed is ignorant of direction. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware.
