They aren't, but they can be described as vectors. The most common way is to describe them as vectors of three components in Euclidian space.

Is velocity the same as acceleration?
Both are vectors. But acceleration and velocity have different dimensions. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
How is acceleration similar to speed and velocity?
-- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of speed. -- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of the magnitude of velocity. -- Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
What has a velocity and acceleration vector in the same direction?
Any falling object has acceleration and velocity vectors in the same direction.
What is Resulting acceleration formula?
Acceleration in physics is the change in velocity in change in time. Resulting acceleration comes from applying force to a body. The equation is velocity final minus velocity initial divided by change in time.
3 types of vector in speed velocity and accelaration?
Position is a vector. Therefore, its first derivative with respect to time (velocity), and its second derivative with respect to time (acceleration) are also vectors.

What are vectors good at representing?
Vectors can represent anything that has both magnitude and direction, like velocity, acceleration, momentum, force, etc.
Velocity and acceleration are vectors because?
Both velocity and acceleration of vectors because their magnitude is dependent on their direction. For example a velocity of 6 ft/s is different from a velocity of -6ft/s because they are in opposite directions. Like wise, an acceleration of 9.8 ft/s^2 indicates an increase in velocity while -9.8 ft/s^2 indicates a decrease in velocity.

Position is a vector. Therefore, its first derivative with respect to time (velocity), and its second derivative with respect to time (acceleration) are also vectors.
Which are considered vectors?
I only know three: Velocity,Acceleration, and Force
What are the significant similarities and differences between velocity and acceleration?
The differences are that acceleration refers to the rate of change in velocity of an object while velocity is the rate of displacement of an object, and acceleration is measured in meters per squared seconds while velocity is measured in meters per second. On the other hand, they both use time as a component and they are both vectors in nature.
What has vector?
Force, velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Mass, temperature, time, cost, and speed are scalars (not vectors).
Are velocity and acceleration the same?
They are definitely NOT the same. Acceleration is not velocity; acceleration is the RATE OF CHANGE of velocity. In symbols: a = dv/dt, which basically means that you divide the difference of velocity by the time, for a small time interval. Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
Both velocity and acceleration are vectors because?
Because it is defined that way. In common language, the words "speed" and "velocity" are used interchangeably. But in physics, if a vector quantity is desired, the word "velocity" is used; for a scalar quantity, the word "speed" is used.
