Gravity creates a scalar and vector acceleration. The gravitational potential energy is
Es= GmM/r= - mu/r.
The derivative of the energy is the force
XE= F= (d/dr + Del) (-mu/r) = -m(d(u/r)/dr + Del u/r) = mu(/r^2 + R/r^3)
The scalar acceleration is as=u/r^2 the vector acceleration is Av= uR/r^3.
Thus the acceleration due to the gravitational potential energy produces a scalar and vector acceleration. This is the result of the quaternion nature of Nature. The Four dimensional universe consists of a scalar and a vector part, including the scalar and vector derivative X=d/dr + Del.

Why is weight a vector quantity?
Weight is defined as a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity. It has both magnitude nd weight. Actually acceleration has both magnitude nd direction so is a vector quantity. The product of vector quantity and a scaler quantity gives us vector quantity. As weight is a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity so its a vector quantity. Moaz khaliq
Is the acceleration of a rocket a vector or scalar?
It is a vector. A scalar has only magnitude. A vector has magnitude and direction.Acceleration is a vector because it has magnitude and direction. That's why an object can be said to be accelerating if it has a circular rotation and a constant speed; even though it's speed isn't changing, it's direction constantly is. Displacement (s), velocity (v), and acceleration (a), are vectors because they have both magntude and direction.
Angular acceleration is it scalar or vector?
Angular acceleration is a vector.
Is vector quantity acceleration?
no, acceleration is not a vector quantity. its false
If after an object is thrown no other fone and ads on it except gravity What are the vertical and horizontal components of its acceleration vector?
If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.
Is gravity a vector measurement?
The acceleration and force of gravity are vectors.

Is weight is a sc alar or vector quantity?
Weight is a vector quantity. Weight is the mass of a body times the acceleration due to gravity, which is a vector quantity. Weight is in the downward direction.

Is acceleration a quantity of vector?
yes, Acceleration is vector quatity!!. Its has both magnitude and direction

If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.
How doesn't a vertical force effect a horizontal motion?
You need to know about gravity, forces, velocity, acceleration, and vector.
Acceleration is a vector quantity?
no, acceleration is not a vector quantity. its false
What are the tangential and normal components of acceleration?
Well if you are familiar with calculus the projection of acceleration vector a(t)on to the Tangent unit vector T(t), that is tangential acceleration. While the projection of acceleration vector a(t) on to the normal vector is the normal acceleration vector. Therefore we know that acceleration is on the same plane as T(t) and N(t). So component of acceleration for tangent vector is (v dot a)/ magnitude of v component of acceleration for normal vector is sqrt((magnitude of acceleration)^2 - (component of acceleration for tangent vector)^2) sorry i can't explain it to you more cause I don't have mathematical symbols to work with
Is acceleration a vector or a scalar?
