Velocity is a:
Correct answer: B. Vector
- A. Tensor
- B. Vector
- C. Scalar
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
Velocity is a vector quantity; it is the speed of an object in a particular direction. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as a vector.

About Vectors and Equilibrium
Vectors have magnitude and direction, unlike scalars, and are combined by head-to-tail or parallelogram methods. Work covers rectangular components, equilibrium when the resultant force is zero, the scalar product for work and projections, and the vector product for torque and cross-product direction using the right-hand rule.
