I believe this would be an example of Mary's velocity. We have her speed and direction which is all you need to find velocity.

Answer:

velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which consists of:

- a magnitude, which is equal to the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken for the displacement to occur:


v=(d)/(t)

- a direction, which is equal to the direction of the displacement

In this case, we are given both the magnitude (70 miles/hour) and the direction (north), so this is an example of velocity.
