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.

A vector has magnitude and direction, so since it is up it is vector.


What is the product of two vector quantities?

It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.


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.
