Increasing the mass decreases the acceleration.

Newton's Second Law: F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration) --> a = F/m, meaning that the relationship between the acceleration and the mass is inversely proportional.

Mass is a scalar quantity because it doesn't have direction.

Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Is mass and acceleration scalar or vector qualities?

Mass is a scalar quantity, as it only requires a magnitude to describe it. Acceleration is a vector quantity, as it involves both magnitude and direction to fully describe it.


Is centripetal acceleration a scalar?

acceleration is never a scalar...it describes in what direction is the motion of an object changing, so it can't be a scalar...


Is acceleration a scalar quantity?

No, acceleration is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.


Is acceleration Scalar quantities?

Since acceleration has both a magnitude and a direction, it is therefore a vector quantity, not a scalar quantity.


Is a acceleration a scalar quantity?

Since acceleration has both a magnitude and a direction, it is therefore a vector quantity, not a scalar quantity.


Is acceleration of a car is scalar quantity?

No, acceleration is a vector quantity.


How is acceleration is a scalar quantity?

Acceleration means the rate of change of velocity, that is it does not show the particular(specific) direction so it is a scalar quantity.


Are force and acceleration scalar quantities?

No. Force and acceleration are vector quantities.


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.


Scalar and vector?

A scalar is a magnitude that doesn't specify a direction. A vector is a magnitude where the direction is important and is specified.
