To make it easy, vector quantities have a direction aswell as a magnitude.
While scalar quantities just have a magnitude
An example of a scalar quantity is "Speed" and the vector quantity would be "Velocity"

Is the acceleration of a rocket a vector or scalar?
It is a vector. A scalar has only magnitude. A vector has magnitude and direction.Acceleration is a vector because it has magnitude and direction. That's why an object can be said to be accelerating if it has a circular rotation and a constant speed; even though it's speed isn't changing, it's direction constantly is. Displacement (s), velocity (v), and acceleration (a), are vectors because they have both magntude and direction.
Angular acceleration is it scalar or vector?
Angular acceleration is a vector.
Is vector quantity acceleration?
no, acceleration is not a vector quantity. its false
Acceleration is a vector quantity?
no, acceleration is not a vector quantity. its false
Is acceleration a vector or a scalar?
Vector Quantity

Is acceleration a quantity of vector?
yes, Acceleration is vector quatity!!. Its has both magnitude and direction
Acceleration is a vector quantity?
no, acceleration is not a vector quantity. its false
What are the tangential and normal components of acceleration?
Well if you are familiar with calculus the projection of acceleration vector a(t)on to the Tangent unit vector T(t), that is tangential acceleration. While the projection of acceleration vector a(t) on to the normal vector is the normal acceleration vector. Therefore we know that acceleration is on the same plane as T(t) and N(t). So component of acceleration for tangent vector is (v dot a)/ magnitude of v component of acceleration for normal vector is sqrt((magnitude of acceleration)^2 - (component of acceleration for tangent vector)^2) sorry i can't explain it to you more cause I don't have mathematical symbols to work with
Is acceleration a vector or a scalar?
Vector Quantity
Is speed or acceleration a vector quantity?
an acceleration
What is the name of a vector quantity that is the rate at which velocity changes over time?
Acceleration vector.
What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on spinning earth?
The acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion is towards the center.
Is acceleration of a car is scalar quantity?
No, acceleration is a vector quantity.
What is acceleration a scalar or vector quantity?
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.
