Among the quantities you listed, **momentum** is the only vector.
- **Time** is a scalar quantity (it has only magnitude and no direction).
- **Speed** is also a scalar (it measures how fast something is moving without regard to direction).
- **Distance** is a scalar quantity (it represents how much ground has been covered without direction).
In contrast, **momentum** is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction.
