No- vector ad scalar are two different things. Scalar consists only of magnitude, whereas vector consists both magnitude and direction.

Is scalar quantiy is added with vector quantity?

No, a scalar quantity cannot be added to a vector quantity directly. They belong to different types of quantities - scalars have only magnitude while vectors have both magnitude and direction. To add a scalar to a vector, you would need to convert the scalar to a vector by giving it a direction and then perform vector addition.


Why cant a vector quantity be added to a scalar quantity?

vector quantity is magnitute and direction scalar is magnitute only


Can you add zero to a null vector?

scalar cannot be added to a vector quantity


Can Scalar and vector quantities be added by the same method?

No, scalar quantities are added algebraically in the same direction while vector quantities are added using vector addition taking into consideration both magnitude and direction.


Can a null vector be added to zero?

No, a vector cannot be added to a scalar. You could multiply a null vector by zero (and you'd get the null vector), but you can't add them.


What is a scalar times a vector?

A scalar times a vector is a vector.


Is inertia is a scalar or vector?

vector


Can vector quantity be divided and multiplied?

Vector quantities can be added and subtracted using vector addition, but they cannot be divided like scalar quantities. However, vectors can be multiplied in two ways: by scalar multiplication, where a scalar quantity is multiplied by the vector to change its magnitude, or by vector multiplication, which includes dot product and cross product operations that result in a scalar or vector output.


Can you add a scalar to a vector?

Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.


Is time a scalar or a vector?

Scalar


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 earthquake a scalar or vector?

An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
