Velocity is a vector , which it means it has both magnitude and direction. Scalars have only magnitude. The magnitude of a velocity vector is usually called speed . Although I have never heard it called by that name, scalar velocity is speed.

Is instantaneous velocity a vector or a scalar?
Velocity is always a scalar, instantaneous or average doesn't matter.
Is velocity a vetor or scalar?
Velocity is a vector.
Which is vector speed or velocity?
"Speed" is a scalar; "velocity" is a vector.
Which is a vector quantity speed or velocity?
velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar.
Is a vector quantity speed or velocity?
velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar.
Is instantaneous velocity a vector or a scalar?
Velocity is always a scalar, instantaneous or average doesn't matter.
Is velocity a vetor or scalar?
Velocity is a vector.
Is the muzzle velocity a scalar or vector quantity?
I think Scalar
Which is vector speed or velocity?
"Speed" is a scalar; "velocity" is a vector.
If you have a constant velocity do you have to have a constant speed?
Yes, speed is the scalar of velocity.
Which is a vector quantity speed or velocity?
velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar.
Is a vector quantity speed or velocity?
velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar.
What does the velocity include that the speed does not?
Direction. Velocity is a vector, speed is a scalar.
Why speed is scalar while velocity is vector?
Speed is scalar (that is, without direction) and velocity is a vector (speed plus direction) by definition in physics.
What is an angular velocity scalar or vector?
vector
Is velocity a scalar or vecrore quantity?
The word "velocity", as used in physics, is a vector. If you want a scalar (you don't care about the direction), you would talk about the "speed".
What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?
velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar
