I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The air traffic controller is describing the airplane's velocity. Velocity<span> is a physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

The correct answer for this is B. Velocity. To find velocity you need the speed and direction, what we have. Sorry for the wait, Good luck :)
