by this do you mean

s*V

where s is the scalar and V is the vector?

if V = ai + bj + ck then

s*V = (s*a)i + (s*b)j + (s*c)k

where i, j and k are the unit vectors and a,b and c are constants

Essentially you just multiply each part of the vector by the scalar

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.

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.


A scalar is a quantity that has?

A scalar quantity has an angle which is an even multiple of 90 degrees. A vector quantity has an angle which is an odd multiple of 90 degrees. A quaternion has any angle and includes the scalar and the vector; quaternion q = cos(angle) + unit-vector sin(angle)

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.
