Answer:

magnitude

Explanation:

There are two types of quantities.

Scalars: The quantities which are completely described by their magnitudes only are called scalars.

For example, mass, length, time, speed, temperature, etc.

Vectors: The quantities which are completely explained by their magnitude and direction both are called vectors. For example, velocity, weight, force, momentum, etc.

As speed is a scalar quantity so it can be completely described by their magnitude only.
