500
This is the kind of quantity you get when you multiply a scalar quantity by a vector quantity.
What is a vector quantity?
500
This is the velocity of an object 2 seconds after it is thrown vertically upward at an initial speed of 35 m/s at or near the surface of the earth, assuming no wind resistance acts on the object.
