No, it's a scalar measurement because it has magnitude only. A vector measurement has both a magnitude and a direction.

What type of measurement is 120 meters northeast?
vector
What type of measurement is 12 feet up?
A vector has magnitude and direction, so since it is up it is vector.
What is the mass of 300 N?
3000kg. kilograms is a measurement for mass.
How do you convert feet into kilograms?
You can't. Feet are a measurement of length. Kilograms are a measurement of mass.
What is the unit of measurement of gas?
That depends what you want to measure about the gas: its volume, mass, transparency, temperature, etc. The really isn't such a thing as a "unit of measurement of gas", there are units of measurement for mass, volume, temperature, etc., all of which can be attributes of a specific gas.
How can you tell a measurement is vector?
If it has both length and direction it is a vector.
What is scalar vector?
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.
The upward pressure of an Old Faithful eruption?
This is a vector measurement.
What is scalar is measurement?
It is a measurement that doesn't have direction, such as distance. A vector has direction
Is momentum a vector?
Momentum is a vector quantity because the definition of momentum is that it is an object's mass multiplied by velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that has direction and the mass is scalar. When you multiply a vector by a scalar, it will result in a vector quantity.
Which type is of measurement is this 30 minutes?
vector
are human beings vector quantities or scalar?
A human being is not a measurement. You can measure a human's height, mass, weight, albedo, loudness when he shouts, or whatever, and each of these can be expressed as a measurement, but the human being itself is not a measurement. In general, you have to distinguish an object from its properties.
How would momentum be considered a vector?
momentum is mass x velocity and velocity is a vector and mass is scalar but scalar times vector = vector so momentum remains a vector
What is a vector measurement?
A measurement that has magnitude and direction. The magnitude is equal to the absolute value of the vector measurement. For example, Velocity is a vector measurement. A velocity of -20 miles per 1 second would suggest moving away from the origin point in a two-dimensional measurement at a rate of 20 miles per 1 second. The absolute value of this would be 20 miles per 1 second, which would also be the speed. Therefore, speed is the magnitude of Velocity. Subsequently, any measurement that has a magnitude, but no direction, is not a Vector measurement, but rather a scalar measurement. Some examples of vector measurements would be Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration.
Is momentum a measurement of the motion of something this is equal to the product of the moving objects mass times its velocity?
Yes, that's how momentum is defined. Note that velocity is a vector; therefore, momentum is also a vector. That means that the direction of the movement matters.
What is vector and scalar mass?
I don't believe there IS such a thing as 'vector' mass, which is quite a contrast between them right there.
Is moment a vector or a scalar?
A vector. Since velocity is a vector, moment, which is mass x velocity, is also a vector.
