Velocity is always a scalar, instantaneous or average doesn't matter.
"Velocity" is a vector quantity. This also applies to instantaneous velocity. If you want the scalar quantity, you talk about "speed".
Because speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. The velocity consists of the speed and the direction, and the whole thing can be embodied in a 3D vector. If you like the velocity is the magnitude (the speed), which is a scalar (just a real number), multiplied by a unit vector in the right direction.
"Speed" is a scalar; "velocity" is a vector.
scalar=speed time vector=velocity force
velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar.
Momentum is defined as the product of a particle's mass and velocity. Mass is a scalar and velocity is a vector, the multiplication of a scalar and vector always results in a vector.
Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. In other words, when a direction is important, you talk about velocity.Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector.

Velocity is a vector.Its magnitude is called 'speed'.
Velocity and acceleration are both vector quantities.
Velocity is a vector quantity or simply vector, it has both magnitude an direction.
Momentum is a vector quantity. We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and velocity has direction. That makes velocity a vector quantity. And the product of a scalar quantity and a vector quantity is a vector quantity.

Velocity is a vector. Speed is defined as the scalar component of velocity, so it's not a vector.
A vector. Since velocity is a vector, moment, which is mass x velocity, is also a vector.
Speed is scalar (that is, without direction) and velocity is a vector (speed plus direction) by definition in physics.
It is a vector since it has both a magnitude and a direction. Scalar quantities only have a magnitude.
A vector has magnitude AND direction, a scalar just has magnitude.
Scalar. Angular frequency vector is roughly synonymous with angular velocity.
velocity is a vector quantity because it`s formula is displacement by time and displacement has a particular direction. that`s why velocity is a vector quantity but speed is a scalar quantity
Velocity is a vector since it has both magnitude and direction. Speed would be a scalar.
momentum is mass x velocity and velocity is a vector and mass is scalar but scalar times vector = vector so momentum remains a vector
Momentum is a vector, the product of a scalar (mass) & a vector (velocity). As such, its direction is whatever direction the velocity vector has.
Direction. Velocity is a vector, speed is a scalar.
Speed = distance/ time Velocity = displacement / time distance is scalar and displacement is vector
Momentum is a vector quantity because the definition of momentum is that it is an object's mass multiplied by velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that has direction and the mass is scalar. When you multiply a vector by a scalar, it will result in a vector quantity.
