Vectors have speed AND direction.
Speed is classified as a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude (numerical value and unit of measurement) such as 50 mi/h.
Velocity is classified as a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction, 50 mi/h north. By including direction, you are giving more information than a scalar quantity (requiring one unit).
Speed = distance/ time Velocity = displacement / time distance is scalar and displacement is vector
By their definitions: speed is how fast you're going, and velocity is how fast you are going AND what direction you're going in.
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and 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 and speed is a scalar.

I think Scalar
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
Speed is the rate of which an object is moving altogether and is a scalar quantity and thus only requires a magnitude and is found by the use of the formula speed=distance/time SI unit = m.s-1 Velocity is the rate of which a object is moving in a given direction, so is vector quantity and both a magnitude and direction are required found by the formula velocity=displacement/time SI unit = m.s-2
Velocity is a vector.Its magnitude is called 'speed'.
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 and speed is a scalar.
velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar.
speed has only magnitude but no direction associate to it, if you consider velocity it consists of magnitude along with the direction. Hence speed is considered as a scalar quantity
vector quality
Yes. A scalar is a physical quantity that does not depend on direction. For example, temperature is a scalar because it has no directional value. Velocity is not a scalar (it is a vector quantity) because it has direction.
