Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of acceleration: Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Recall that velocity is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction.
Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, it must also have both magnitude and direction.
A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, as opposed to a scalar, which only has magnitude.
Therefore, since acceleration has both magnitude and direction, it is classified as a vector quantity.
