* Speed is a scalar quantity. It only has magnitude (how fast something is moving).
* Distance is also a scalar quantity. It only describes how much ground has been covered.
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Here are some examples of vector quantities:
* Velocity: This describes both the speed and the direction of motion.
* Displacement: This describes the change in position of an object, considering both the distance and direction traveled.
In summary: Speed and distance are scalar quantities because they only have magnitude. They don't provide information about direction.
