Answer:

Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion.
