Question
Acceleration is a _____ quantity, as it has ____.
- Scalar, only magnitude
- Vector, only magnitude
- Scalar, both magnitude, and direction
- Vector, both magnitude, and direction
Hint:
Acceleration can be both negative and positive.
The correct answer is: Vector, both magnitude, and direction
Acceleration is vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction.
In positive acceleration its magnitude will be positive and direction is same as of the velocity.
In negative acceleration its magnitude will be negative and direction is opposite as of the velocity.
