Can a scalar product be a negative quantity?
No,because scalar quantities have no direction. So they cant be negative
Can Scalar quantity be Negative Or Zero?
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
Is it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
Can a scalar be negative?
Scalars can be negative, and so can a change in a scalar value.Take temperature:You can have a temperature of -10 degrees.If temperature falls from 20 to 5 degress, the change was -15 degree.The negative value of the scalar is a consequence of where you take the "zero" to be.With speed you have to be very careful because speed is the scalar bit of velocity. Velocity with no consideration of direction.
Is mass a scalar quantity?
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.
Can a scalar product be a negative quantity?
No,because scalar quantities have no direction. So they cant be negative
Why scalar product are commutative?
i think that scalar product are commutative because the vectors are in the same direction
Can Scalar quantity be Negative Or Zero?
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
Is it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
Scalar or dot product?
They are the same.
What is the product of two vector quantities?
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.

Is the following scalar product correct Answer yes or no?
no
Why you only use cosine for scalar product?
That is how the scalar product is defined. Also, the projection of one vector onto another at an angle to it is directly proportional to the cosine of that angle.
What is a scalar which is both positive and negative?
Scalar is a type of quantity which contains magnitude only and has no direction. For example: distance and speed
How do you find the volume of a sphere if the radius is a negative number?
radius is a scalar quantity, it can not have a negative value.
Why is scalar product two vectors a scalar?
Scalar product of two vectors is a scalar as it involves only the magnitude of the two vectors multiplied by the cosine of the angle between the vectors.
