Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

acceleration:->the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.

acceleration have both magnitude and direction and follow vector parallelogram law of addition that's why acceleration is a vector quality .

• A body moving in a circular path having constant velocity is the body accelerated?

yes a moving in a circular path having constant velocity can be acclerated because in circular path the direction is vsries with respect to time .

• Electric current have direction as well as magnitude did it acclerated ?

No electric current doesn't acclerated because it doesn't follow vector parallelogram law of addition .

Hope it may help you :-)
