Question

Why is velocity called vector quantity

Answer 1

Explanation:

Short answer: Velocity needs a direction to make sense. If it doesn't, it's just speed. Since we define displacement as a vector quantity, velocity is a vector quantity because it is the change in displacement with respect to time; the derivative of a vector is still a vector.

Answer 2

Answer:

VELOCITY IS CALLED A VECTOR QUANTITY BECAUSE IT HAS BOTH MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION..
