Force is a vector quantity.
When my brother and I were both little guys, I could pull on the toy with a million
tons of force toward me, and he could pull on the same toy with a million tons of
force toward him, and the toy didn't move, because the vector sum of the external
forces acting on it was zero. You could not do that today, as they no longer build
toys like they used to.

Why is force not a scaler quantity?
A force is a vector. That simply means that the direction in which you apply a force is relevant.
Voltage is a vector quantity or scaler quantity?
Scaler. Its vector counterpart is the electric field.
Is it possible to add a vector quantity to a scaler quantity?
No.
When if ever can a vector quantity be added to a scaler quantity?
never
Is the work vector quantity or scalar quantity?
Work is a scalar quantity.
Is work vector or scaler quantity?
Work is a scalar.
What does scaler mean?
A scaler quantity is one with magnitude (size) only. ie. not direction dependent. Speed is a scaler quantity, however, velocity is a vector quantity, it has size and direction.
What is a scaler quantity?
It is a "scalar quantity", it refers to a quantity that has magnitude but no direction, as distinct from a vector quantity
Why is weight a vector quantity?
Weight is defined as a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity. It has both magnitude nd weight. Actually acceleration has both magnitude nd direction so is a vector quantity. The product of vector quantity and a scaler quantity gives us vector quantity. As weight is a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity so its a vector quantity. Moaz khaliq
Is force a vector or scaler?
'Force' is a vecter quanity.
Is electric current scaler or vector quantity?
Electric current is a scalar.
Is it possible that a physical quantity has direction but it is a scaler?
If a direction is relevant, then it is NOT a scalar, but a vector.
