I came across a problem that asked if some things were scalar or a vector.
Is acceleration a vector? I thought it just gives you magnitude and not direction at all.
For example when velocity and acceleration are put together, velocity gives you the direction and the acceleration gives tells you if your slowing down or speeding up?
I'm not understanding these terms.
Also, mass is suppose to be scalar right? My prof at first said it as a vector then the next day he writes it's scalar. I understand vector means direction and magnitude
