hello :)
velocity is VECTOR since it has a size and diraction
example
you can go in 10 meter per second
and if i go the other way i would have to go in (-)10 meter per second
:)
Vector = somthing that has Size and Direction

Velocity is a vector. This is because this shows not only the magnitude of the speed of the body, but also the direction in which the body is travelling. Always remember, a vector is a physical quantity that shows magnitude and also direction.

Velocity is a vector, because it has size and direction. In opposit, speed is scalar.

velocity = vector -- magnitude and direction
speed = scalar -- magnitude
see a difference?

velocity is vector because it has a direction.
Speed is scalar because it does not have a direction

Recall the definition of velocity it has direction too so its a vector quantity.

It's a vector because that's how it's defined. If reviewing your class material doesn't clear up your confusion, you'll need more help than the answer to this question.
