Vector acceleration is a scalar acceleration and a direction, eg \(5 m\,s^{-2}\) to the right. Treat acceleration as a vector when there is another vector quantity, such as velocity or force ...

The direction of a vector can be given in a written description, or drawn as an arrow. The length of an arrow represents the magnitude of the quantity. Displacement is the overall distance from a ...

are scalar processors. This type of processor is known as a "single instruction stream single data stream" (SISD) CPU. Contrast with vector processor. See scalar. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL ...
