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

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?

gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.

Hope this helps!

To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts of conservation of the moment especially in objects that experience an inelastic colposition.

They are expressed as,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f$
