Answer:

Vector

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. As velocity is a vector quantity, so acceleration is also a vector quantity.

If a car starts from rest and attains some velocity after some time, then car is accelerating and the firection of acceleration is same as the direction of velocity.

If a car is moving and after applying the brakes it come to rest it means the motion of car has negative acceleration which means the direction of velocity and the direction of acceleration is opposite to each other.

Acceleration is a vector because it has magnitude and direction

Example :
a Car stopping at the rate of 5 m/s. In this example, the direction of acceleration is the opposite of the direction of velocity, and the magnitude is 5 m/s

In this setup how can potential energy be converted into kinetic energy .
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

If force is applied to cause the motion of the body

Explanation:

In the setup given in this diagram, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy by applying force on the cart or object to move it down the slope.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. The body has huge potential energy at its current position.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

As the body moves down the slope and its velocity increases, it gains massive kinetic energy.

Down the slope, the kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases.

At the bottom of the slope, the potential energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is at its maximum.
