Answer:

Velocity because it has both magnitude (10m/s) and direction (to the ground).

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;


Velocity = (distance)/(time)

In this scenario, an eagle flying 10 meters per second swoops down to the ground to catch a snake. Therefore, this is an example of velocity.
