Time is a scalar quantity. And any interval of time is also scalar. It has magnitude only. A vector quantity is a scalar quantity that has the added or extra "dimension" of direction. Time has magnitude, but is not considered to have direction as such. Time, though it can be "tricky" to deal with in quantum mechanics, is generally thought of as moving "forward" and generally cannot more in another direction. (Save the "exceptions" for more advanced physics, please.) Time travel is relatively impossible now, but if you graphed time, you would see a parabolic motion.

Is length a scalar quantity or a vector quantity?
length is a scalar quantity buddy . but displacement is vector quantity. Length is a vector quantity If it is associated with direction.. Because having direction make it vector... S0 being vector or scalar depends upon how and where it is used..
Is position scalar or vector?
Position is a vector quantity.
Can you graphically represent a vector which has magnitude but no direction?
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?
Vector.
Is power a vector quantity or a scalar quantity?
vector, power= work/time and work= force * distance, force is vector.
