Question

Define the term acceleration. Is it a vector quantity or a scalar quantity?

Answer 1

Acceleration, in physics, is the rate of change of velocity of an object. An object's acceleration is the net result of any and all forces acting on the object, as described by Newton's Second Law.[1] The SI unit for acceleration is metre per second squared (m s−2). Accelerations arevector quantities 

Answer 2

Answer:

The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration it is a vector quantity. In non-uniform motion

The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration it is a vector quantity. In non-uniform motion velocity varies with time, i.e change in velocity is not 0. It is denoted by

The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration it is a vector quantity. In non-uniform motion velocity varies with time, i.e change in velocity is not 0. It is denoted by “a".
