Question

directions: show your work for each problem or you will not get credit for your answer

1. explain why velocity is considered a vector and not a scalar.

Explanation:

Vectors have magnitude and direction. Velocity has both the speed (magnitude) of an object and the direction in which it is moving. Scalars have only magnitude. Since velocity has direction in addition to magnitude, it is a vector.

Answer:

Velocity is a vector because it has both magnitude (speed) and direction, while scalars have only magnitude.
