Acar starts from rest and uniformly accelerates to a speed of 30 mi/h in 6 s. the car moves north the entire time. which option correctly lists a vector quantity from the scenario?

speed: 30 mi/h

acceleration: 5 mi/h/s north

distance: 30 mi

velocity: 5 mi/h/s north

acceleration: 5 mi/h/s north

Explanation:

A quantity can be either vector quantity or scalar quantity, a vector  quantity is a quantity with both magnitude and direction while a scalar quantity has magnitude only.

Examples of vector quantities include; velocity, acceleration, displacement , etc.

Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity per unit of time. It is given by the formula; Velocity/time

Therefore in this case; a = 30 mi/h /6 s

                                         = 5 mi/h/s

Therefore;

Acceleration = 5 mi/h/s
