Scalar and vector quantities are used in mathematical models of phenomena. Accurate modeling allows people to understand these phenomena. People are helped by better understanding of the world around them.
It is neither a scalar or a vector? Scalar and vectors are used to describe quantities, for example scalars include distance and mass, while vectors include weight and velocity. We do not say that a situation is a scalar or a vector.
energy
The quantity used to measure mass is kilograms (kg) and the quantity used to measure velocity is meters per second (m/s).
Self replicating DNA used to transmit a gene from one organism to another is a vector. A population of cells carrying a desired plasmid is called a clone.
Meters Miles per hour
Meters per second squared, Kilometers per hour, Meters, and Miles per hour.

A vector quantity can be described in many different units, because there are many different vector quantities. For example, a distance - when the direction is relevant - would be indicated in meters or km. (plus a direction), a velocity in meters per second plus a direction, an acceleration in meters per second square, plus a direction. Electric field might be indicated in Volts / meter, if I remember correctly again, including an indicating the direction.
It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.
Units that are used for measures in which the direction is relevant. Example are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force.

The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.

Such a quantity is called a vector. A shining example is velocity itself. velocity is the rate of change of displacement- the distance moved by particle in a specified direction. Since velocity = displacement/time taken = vector/scalar, Velocity thus has both a direction and a magnitude (magnitude = speed of particle) Another examples include quantities such as Force, acceleration, displacement
