It is not possible the addition of scalars as well as vectors because vector quantities are magnitude as well as direction and scalar quantities are the only magnitude; they have no directions at all. Addition is possible between scalar to scalar and vector to vector.
Under some circumstances, you may be able to treat scalar quantities as being along some previously undefined dimension of a vector quantity, and add them that way. For example, you can treat time as a vector along the t-axis and add it to an xyz position vector in 3-space to come up with a four-dimensional spacetime vector.

What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is time a scalar or a vector?
Scalar
What is time vector or scalar?
Time is scalar
Can you add zero in null vector?
no,zero cannot be added to a null vector because zero is scalar but null vector is a vector,although null vector has zero magnitude but it has direction due to which it is called a vector.
Is it possible to divide scalar by a vector?
No Answer2: Yes. Scalar S and vector V . S/V= SV*/VV* = SV*/Norm of vector(VV*). Example: a/bi = a(-bi)/bi(-bi)= -abi/b2 =-ai/b.
Why is it impossible to add a scalar to a vector?
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.
Can you add vector with scalar?
No.
Is it possible the add a vector and scalar?
no!!!only scalars and scalars and only vectors and vectors can be added.
Can you add zero to a null vector?
scalar cannot be added to a vector quantity
Is the number of leaves on a tree scalar or vector?
scalar lol
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
What is scalar 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.
Why vector quantities cannot be added and subtracted like scalar quantities?
Mainly because they aren't scalar quantities. A vector in the plane has two components, an x-component and a y-component. If you have the x and y components for each vector, you can add them separately. This is very similar to the addition of scalar quantities; what you can't add directly, of course, is their lengths. Similarly, a vector in space has three components; you can add each of the components separately.
Why isn't the sum of two vectors a scalar?
A vector has direction, where as a scalar does not. When you add two vectors, it is like you are moving one vector to the end of the other vector, and closing off the triangle with a vector for the third side. That third vector is the addition of the first two vectors. The new vector points in a specific direction, so it cannot be a scalar.
Is AC a vector or scalar quantity?
current is vector or scalar
Is it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
