Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:-

We know that the two terms which are used here are vector and velocity. We define each as 

A vector is a quantity that has a  magnitude as well as direction. 

Velocity is a vector quantity that has a  magnitude as well as direction. if the velocity has a magnitude only then we will not consider it as velocity then we call it a speed. speed has a magnitude only not a direction. 

We also know that the unit of velocity is m/s or km/hr.

Find:- 

Identify which measurement below is a velocity.

A) 1280 km/hr fast B) 80 km/hr east C) 20 east D) 0.0125 hr/km slow
