Want this question answered?
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"
There is no such thing as scalar and vector forces. However, there are scalar and vector QUANTITIES, and force is a vector quantity, as all forces have direction and magnitude. Scalar quantities, on the other hand, have only magnitude and no direction.
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.
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.
No. Force and acceleration are vector quantities.
scalar quantities have magnitude only while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. e.g.s of scalar quantities- distance, mass, temperature, speed e.g.s of vector quantities-displacement, velocity, acceleration, weight, force
Since acceleration has both a magnitude and a direction, it is therefore a vector quantity, not a scalar quantity.

They are both vector quantities and acceleration is in the direction of the net force.
Force=mass*acceleration
force x mass = acceleration
Not at all. Scalar are numerical quantities without direction (for example time) where as vectors are numerical quantities with direction (for example gravitational force downward)
Scalar quantities are defined as quantities that have only a mganitude. Vector quantities have magnitude and direction. Some example of this include Scalar Vector Mass Weight length Displacement Speed Velocity Energy Acceleration
