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.
How to Measure Acceleration. The standard unit of measurement for acceleration is meters per second squared or m/s 2. You can calculate this from the above formula where velocity is meters per second and time is in seconds. Acceleration is a Vector. In physics acceleration not only has a magnitude (which is the m/s 2 number we discussed above), but also has a direction. This makes acceleration a vector. Force and Acceleration. Newton's second law of motion states that the force on an object equals the mass times the acceleration. This is written in the following equation: We can use this formula to also figure out the acceleration if we know the mass and force on an object.
