B) speed is a vector and requires a magnitude.

C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

D) velocity is a vector and requires a magnitude.

Answer 1

Hello,

The answer here would be C

Answer A is wrong, speed does not direction.

Answer B is wrong, Speed is not a vector.

So I would say Answer C is the correct answer.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

C. Velocity is a vector component and requires a direction and magnitude. Speed is a scalar component and just requires a magnitude.
