If up is well defined - as in directly above, rather that somewhere up there, on the next storey up - it is a vector.

A scalar has distance but no direction. A vector has distance and direction. "12 feet up" has distance (12 feet) and direction (up), so is a vector.

When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.

Distance is a scalar quantity, as it has only magnitude and no direction. An example equation for distance is d = rt, where d is distance, r is rate, and t is time. This equation is used to calculate distance traveled when speed and time are known.
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.

When a scalar quantity(if it has positive magnitude) is multiplies by a vector quantity the product is another vector quantity with the magnitude as the product of two vectors and the direction and dimensions same as the multiplied vector quantity e.g. MOMENTUM
WEIGHT is a VECTOR quantity .. because the weight has the direction into the surface of the earth to the down effected by the gravity .. but mass is a scalar quantity like 90 kg .. so .. WEIGHT IS VECTOR ..
