No, acceleration is a vector quantity.
Since acceleration has both a magnitude and a direction, it is therefore a vector quantity, not a scalar quantity.

Acceleration means the rate of change of velocity, that is it does not show the particular(specific) direction so it is a scalar quantity.
Vector Quantity
b. distance is a scalar quantity.
Mass is a scalar quantity. Scalar quantities are those characteristics of matter that can be measured with a scale, while vector quantities are those that involve direction as well as quantity.
Yes.
To make it easy, vector quantities have a direction aswell as a magnitude.While scalar quantities just have a magnitudeAn example of a scalar quantity is "Speed" and the vector quantity would be "Velocity"
A vector is a quantity with a direction that matters, like force, velocity, acceleration, etc. A scalar is a quantity with no direction, like temperature, cost, mass, etc.
A vector. Acceleration is defined as change in velocity in a given time, in symbolsa = ( v - u ) / t(the bolded symbols represent vectors)t is a scalar so its inverse is also a scalar.( v - u ) is a vector soa = vector * scalar = a vector.Answer2:Acceleration like many quantities is a Quaternion, consisting of a scalar part and a vector part. a= mv2/r is a scalar acceleration and A=dV/dt is a vector acceleration as is cV/r = A.
For differentiation, you have to divide a vector by a scalar. Therefore, you should get a vector.
Increasing the mass decreases the acceleration. Newton's Second Law: F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration) --> a = F/m, meaning that the relationship between the acceleration and the mass is inversely proportional. Mass is a scalar quantity because it doesn't have direction. Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
