Which are examples of vectors?
A
Mass
B
Force
C
Length
D
Velocity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If we say that a car is going 70 km/hour, we have not completely specified its motion, because we have not specified the direction that it is going. Thus, velocity is an example of a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-2: -A velocity vector represents the rate of change of the position of an object. The magnitude of a velocity vector gives the speed of an object while the vector direction gives its direction. Velocity vectors can be added or subtracted according to the principles of vector addition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields and weight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of vector quantities include displacement, velocity, position, force, and torque.

Detailed explanation-5: -In simple words, velocity is the speed at which something moves in a particular direction. For example as the speed of a car travelling north on a highway, or the speed a rocket travels after launching.
