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.
When if ever can a vector quantity be added to a scaler quantity?
never
Is work vector or scaler quantity?
Work is a scalar.
Write differences between scaler and vector quantities?
Scaler Quantity- quantities which are described only by magnitude.Vector Quantity- quantities which are described by both magnitude as well as direction.
Is electric current scaler or vector quantity?
Electric current is a scalar.
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.

never
Is the work vector quantity or scalar quantity?
Work is a scalar quantity.
Is work vector or scaler quantity?
Work is a scalar.

Scaler Quantity- quantities which are described only by magnitude.Vector Quantity- quantities which are described by both magnitude as well as direction.
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.
Scaler quantity that represents the true distance that was covered by an object?
Its simply called "Distance"
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.
How do you scale a quantity?
i think you mean a scaler quantity. a scaler quantity is something that is measured without a directional component to it. ie. mass, temperature, speed it could be negative value but the negative means its value. you can use a scale to measure scaler quantity. then there is vector quantities which have a direction to it. ie. velocity because something like velocity is 10m/s east OR -10m/s here the negative it is not a value but a direction (if 10m/s is to the right then -10m/s is to the left) don't confuse this with speed because speed is scaler it is just magnitude or value only. velocity is the displacement over time so it have a direction aswell. hope this helps
