Answer: a vector

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- scalars: scalar quantities are characterized by a magnitude only. Examples of scalars are: mass, time, length, and speed

- vectors: vector quantities are characterized by both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vectors are: force, displacement, and velocity.

Velocity, in fact, is a vector, because it includes:

- a magnitude, which is the speed, given by the ratio between displacement and time taken:
v=(s)/(t)

- a direction
