  • Understanding Velocity Magnitude: What is Speed?
    The term that represents the magnitude of a velocity vector is speed.

    Here's why:

    * Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how fast) and direction.

    * Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude.

    Therefore, the speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity vector.
