In mathematics, a field is a set with certain operators (such as addition and multiplication) defined on it and where the members of the set have certain properties.
In a vector field, each member of this set has a value AND a direction associated with it. In a scalar field, there is only vaue but no direction.

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
Is 55 mph a scalar or vector?
No it is not a vector
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..
Name scalar fields and vector fields?
name as many scalar fields and vector fields as u can?
Are the magnetic field vector- or scalar fields?
Both, E=Es + Ev = cB therefore, B= Es/c + Ev/c = Bs + Bv. The electric and magnetic fields are quaternion fields consisting of a scalar field and a vector field. Contemporary Physics has not realized this yet. Correct Relativity Theory is a manifestation of quaternion fields, consisting of a scalar field and three vector fields. This shows up in the Energy Momentum four vector, E= Es +cmV. Actually the Lorentz Force is both scalar and vector: F=qvB = - qv.B + qvxB it makes no sense consider only qvxB and to ignore qv.B.
What are the two kinds of fields that make up an Electromagnetic?
Scalar field and vector field.
What has the author Richmond Beckett McQuistan written?

What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in what?
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.
Is time a scalar or a vector?
Scalar
Is distance vector or scalar with example equation?
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.
Is earthquake a scalar or vector?
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?
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.
Is power a vector or scalar?
vector
