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?
Scalars are single numbers, while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Adding a scalar to a vector would change the vector's magnitude but not its direction, leading to a different type of mathematical operation. It is not possible to directly add a scalar to a vector in the same way you would add two vectors of the same dimension.
Can you add vector with scalar?
No.
How do you add scalar?
To add a scalar to a vector, you simply multiply each component of the vector by the scalar and then add the results together to get a new vector. For example, if you have a vector v = [1, 2, 3] and you want to add a scalar 5 to it, you would calculate 5*v = [5, 10, 15].
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
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
Is scalar quantiy is added with vector quantity?
No, a scalar quantity cannot be added to a vector quantity directly. They belong to different types of quantities - scalars have only magnitude while vectors have both magnitude and direction. To add a scalar to a vector, you would need to convert the scalar to a vector by giving it a direction and then perform vector addition.
Is it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
Why can't you add a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. When adding a vector and a scalar, their dimensions do not match, and it is not mathematically meaningful to add them together. It is like trying to add apples to oranges.
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.
Can a null vector be added to zero?
No, a vector cannot be added to a scalar. You could multiply a null vector by zero (and you'd get the null vector), but you can't add them.
