by this do you mean
s*V
where s is the scalar and V is the vector?
if V = ai + bj + ck then
s*V = (s*a)i + (s*b)j + (s*c)k
where i, j and k are the unit vectors and a,b and c are constants
Essentially you just multiply each part of the vector by the scalar
Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector.
Since you can represent that with a single number, it isn't a vector - just a scalar.

it is scalar
It is not impossible to add a scalar to a vector. e.g. e^ix = cos(x) + isin(x) when x is 0 the answer is a scalar, when x=90 degrees the answer is a vector, when x is not a multiple of 90 degrees the answer is the sum of a scalar and a vector. So it is only impossible to add a scalar to a vector when x is a multiple of 90 degrees, all other angles add a scalar to a vector.
A scalar quantity has an angle which is an even multiple of 90 degrees. A vector quantity has an angle which is an odd multiple of 90 degrees. A quaternion has any angle and includes the scalar and the vector; quaternion q = cos(angle) + unit-vector sin(angle)
scalar lol
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
current is vector or scalar
scalar direction is a vector quantity

An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
