Answer: a vector
Explanation:
In physics, there are two types of quantities:
- scalars: scalar quantities are characterized by a magnitude only. Examples of scalars are: mass, time, length, and speed
- vectors: vector quantities are characterized by both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vectors are: force, displacement, and velocity.
Velocity, in fact, is a vector, because it includes:
- a magnitude, which is the speed, given by the ratio between displacement and time taken: [tex]v=\frac{s}{t}[/tex]
- a direction
