Answer:

Speed is a scalar quantity because it is only represented by magnitude not a direction.

Additional information:

  1. Scalar quantity is a quantity that is only represented by magnitude. For eg :- distance, speed etc.
  2. Vector quantity is a quantity that is represented by both magnitude as well as direction. For eg :- displacement, velocity etc.
