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.
A scalar is a single force or quantity that is independent of other forces, such as speed. Speed can be 45 m/s or 60 mph. A vector is something that involves two forces, such â¦ as velocity which is speed AND direction. For example, velocity can be 5 m/s North. scalar is a physical quantity that does not depend on direction. For example, temperature is a scalar because it has no directional value. Velocity is not a scalar (it â¦ is a vector quantity) because it has direction. Answered.
