Acceleration is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction (Accelerating at a rate of 5 Miles Per Hour North). Speed is a scalar because it only has a magnitude (35 Miles Per Hour) . Velocity is the derivative of the acceleration and is also a vector (35 miles per hour North). Adam Â· 5 years ago. Thumbs up.
You've already chosen the best response. It's a vector because acceleration has both a direction and a magnitude. An example would be a car stopping at a rate of 10 m/s. In this example the direction of acceleration is opposite the direction of velocity (towards the trunk) and the magnitude is 10 m/s.Show full answer.ou've already chosen the best response.
