state whether an accleration is scaler or a vector quantity
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration = rate of change of velocity
Velocity is vector quantity so the acceleration is also vector quantity
A vector is something which has both, direction and magnitude.
Acceleration for sure has magnitude but how do we know if it has direction? If you think about it, acceleration should be a vector. When it's along the direction of motion, it increases the speed of object.
When it is against the motion of direction, it decreases it speed.
It is clear that changing the direction in which magnitude of acceleration acts, motion of body is affected. This is precisely the definition of vectors.
Hence, acceleration is a vector.

Answer:
Acceleration is a vector quantity
Explanation:
Acceleration is a physical quantity that has both direction and magnitude
Quantities having both direction and magnitude are called as vector quantities
These vectors quantities cannot be added or subtracted using simple algebraic addition or subtraction
