The correct answer would be the second option. On a drawing showing the movement of a kickball, you see an arrow above the ball labeled "10 m/s" and the arrow shows BOTH the speed and direction of the kickball. This arrow is a vector. This is because it gives both direction and magnitude.

Answer: a vector

Explanation: Scalar quantities are those which only have magnitude. Example:  Speed(s) : It only gives the magnitude and not the direction. \(s=10ms^{-1}\)

Vector quantities are those which have magnitude as well as direction. Vectors are represented by putting an arrow on the symbol. Example: velocity(v): It gives the magnitude as well as direction.\(v=10ms^{-1}\) moving towards north.

Vector quantities are represented by putting an arrow above the symbol of the quantity as shown in image.
