  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 o â¦ bject 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. vector has magnitude and direction.

Chronic dry coughs are usually caused by irritation from cigarette smoke, environmental irritants, allergies, postnasal drip, or asthma. Several chronic lung diseases also cause a dry, hacking cough. Some people cough out of habit for no clear reason. Gastric reflux may also cause a chronic dry cough. Usually you will also have other symptoms, such as heartburn, burning in the throat, or increased saliva.
The cough associated with heart failure is less likely to be felt in the throat than a flu- or cold-related cough. Sometimes the cough produces white, frothy sputum or thick mucus, which may be tinged with blood. However, heart failure can also cause a dry cough.
