TRUE. However, if you said '60 miles per hour in a northerly direction' , then that is a vector quantity. because it has direction.
Traveling 60 miles per hour is a scalar quantity. Scalars only have magnitude and no direction, whereas vectors have both magnitude and direction. In this case, the speed of 60 miles per hour is the magnitude of the quantity without specifying a direction.
60 miles per hour is a measure of speed. It need not have any slope associated with it.
A scalar is a magnitude only (...I am driving at 60 miles per hour), while a vector is a magnitude and direction (...I am driving at 60 miles per hour, heading east).
1/60 miles per second or 60 miles per minute (and it should win any race!).
A moving car traveling at 60 miles per hour would be described with both a size (60 mph) and a direction (e.g. north).
Velocity is a vector, meaning it has a direction, like east, north, up. Speed isa magnitude without direction, 60 miles per hour is a speed; 60 miles per hour north is a velocity. When a care is going 60 mph in a circle the speed is constant but the velocity changes as the direction changes. The magnitude of the velocity is the same but the direction changes thus the velocity changes. Velocity changes if either the speed/magnitude or the direction change.

Easy answer: velocity is defined as speed in a specific direction. So, if a car is traveling at a velocity of due west, 60 miles per hour, then turns onto a road going north, the velocity has changed to due north, 60 miles per hour. But the speed has stayed the same.
Miles and miles are the same unit of measurement. Therefore, 60 miles is equal to 60 miles.
An example of velocity is a car traveling at 60 miles per hour in a specific direction. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of the object and its direction of motion.
They were going the opposite direction.
