A shark will attack anything that struggles in the water.

I've never heard of sharks eating Polar bears, although they might attack one if they catch up with one as it's drowning. Otherwise, the Polar bear would fight back, and because sharks are scavengers, they don't like to fight for their food.

Orcas (Killer whales) ARE known to prey upon Polar bears.
"no they can not the shark and the polar bear are both predators which means te polar bear might kill the shark with its sharp claws and because sharks swim in warm water not cold"

Polar bears rarely make kills on their main prey, seals, in open water. What makes you think a polar bear would be able to kill a SHARK in open water. 8 species of sharks have been spotted in the arctic region. Of these sharks the most likely to be found sharing the water with a polar bear is the Greenland Shark. This shark is one of the largest species of sharks and patrols underneath arctic ice sheets for fish, seals, and small whales. Sharks are opportunistic feeders and will "inspect" anything that is struggling in the water. A struggling polar bear could well make for a target for this shark, though there is no video evidence that I could find to prove it. Do sharks eat polar bears? Not really, they are clearly not a main prey source. Could a polar bear make for a target of opportunity for a shark? Absolutely, somewhere at some time a shark has eaten a polar bear. Guaranteed.

No, they much prefer to eat seals. They would be unable to swim fast enough to catch a shark unless it was a dead shark washed up on the shore.
