No,because scalar quantities have no direction. So they cant be negative
Noo! because it is a number and distance that is a scalar quantity so it can not be negative and it have no direction also
Mass is a scalar quantity. Scalar quantities are those characteristics of matter that can be measured with a scale, while vector quantities are those that involve direction as well as quantity.
scalar lol
The trough of a wave appears to have a negative amplitude. However, because amplitude is a distance measurement, which is a scalar quantity having only magnitude, it has no sign.

Scalar is a type of quantity which contains magnitude only and has no direction. For example: distance and speed
radius is a scalar quantity, it can not have a negative value.

Yes, a scalar can be a negative number. For instance: c<x₁,x₂> = <cx₁,cx₂> such that <x₁,x₂> is a vector. Let c = -1 for instance. Then, we have this vector: <-x₁,-x₂> Compared to <x₁,x₂>, <-x₁,-x₂> has negative signs. In physics and mathematics, if we multiply the vector or something by a negative value scalar, then the direction of the vector is reversed, and the magnitude stays the same. If the magnitude increases/decreases, and the direction of the vector is reversed, then we can multiply the vector by any negative non-1 scalar value.
A scalar quantity may have positive and negative values - it is simply a real number. But it doesn't have a direction. Think of it as a "vector in one dimension" - whereas the usual vectors have at least 2 dimensions.
A positive scalar multiplied by a vector, will only change the vector's magnitude, not the direction. A negative scalar multiplied by the vector will reverse the direction by 180°.
A matrix and a scalar is a matrix. S + M1 = M2. A scalar is a real number whose square is positive. A matrix is an array of numbers, some of which are scalars and others are vectors, square of the number is negative. A matrix can be a quaternion, the sum of a scalars and three vectors.

It depends upon the condition.But basically, to be a vector, the physical quantities needs to follow vector algebra.but current dos not follow it so it is scalar quantity.
scalar lol
