Scalar contains only the magnitude but Vector contains the magnitude and direction.
A scalar is a magnitude that doesn't specify a direction. A vector is a magnitude where the direction is important and is specified.
This is a measurement of count or quantity, indicating the number of apples present. It is not a measurement of weight, volume, or length.

The product of a vector and a scalar is a new vector whose magnitude is the product of the magnitude of the original vector and the scalar, and whose direction remains the same as the original vector if the scalar is positive or in the opposite direction if the scalar is negative.
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
A vector quantity.
It is a measurement that doesn't have direction, such as distance. A vector has direction
No, it's a scalar measurement because it has magnitude only. A vector measurement has both a magnitude and a direction.
A scalar is a magnitude that doesn't specify a direction. A vector is a magnitude where the direction is important and is specified.
The measurement of 12 feet up is a scalar measurement. Scalars have magnitude but no direction. In this case, the magnitude is 12 feet, indicating the distance or height, but there is no direction specified.
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 scalar times a vector is a vector.
Any measurement for which only a magnitude is required, but not a direction. The opposite of a vector: a measurement for which a direction IS relevant.
vector
The significance of the divergence of a scalar times a vector in vector calculus is that it simplifies to the scalar multiplied by the divergence of the vector. This property is important in understanding how scalar fields interact with vector fields and helps in analyzing the flow and behavior of physical quantities in various fields of science and engineering.
Gravity is a vector, because it is a form of acceleration (which we know by definition is a vector). Vectors hold more 'information' than scalars, because vectors are, put simply, a scalar + a direction. To help you figure out these types of questions in the future, all you have to do is figure out whether direction is an important aspect of the value in question.
