What are the units of vector and scalar quantities?
The units will vary, depending on what you want to measure.
Is the number of leaves on a tree scalar or vector?
scalar lol
Does the odometer of a car measure a scalar or a vector quantity?
Both the odometer and speedometer are scalar because a vector measurement needs a magnitude and direction. If you, for example, combined a compass and a odometer/speedometer, you'd have a vector.
Shape is classified as a scalar or vector quantity or neither?
A scalar quantity is a physical measure of size--or extent--,while, on the other hand, a vector quantity is a physical measurement of size--or extent--AND direction. A shape has size--or extent--but does not have direction; and I would, therefore, classify it as having a scalar quantity
What do you call a quantity with only one measure?
Scalar quantity, e.g, mass, speed of light, charge, etc.
Is milliliters a scalar?
No, a millilitre is a measure, so it is neither scalar nor vector. It is a measure of volume and that is a scalar.
Does odometer of a car measure a scalar quantity?
Yes.
What are the units of vector and scalar quantities?
The units will vary, depending on what you want to measure.
How are scalar and vector quantaties alike?
Scalars and vectors quantities can represent the same measure e.g.Energy = -mu/r + mc, ; -mu/r is scalar energy and mcV is vector energy.

Is life scalar or vector?
The terms scalar and vector are used for units of measure, not for arbitrary abstract concepts. Would you consider "life" a unit of measure? ------------- Acknowledging that this is nonsense to begin with ... A vector is a force with direction. And since life is a force and moves only in one direction I'd say it is a Vector.
Is resistivity a scalar or vector quantity?
Resistance is usually thought of as a scaler, since we usually measure it on wires that have effectively one dimension. However, there are materials that conduct in one direction but not another, so in fact we would need what is commonly called a tensor to properly describe it.

Scalar quantity, e.g, mass, speed of light, charge, etc.
Is a electric potential scalar or vector?
Electric potential is a scalar.
Velocity is a measure of both an object's speed and its what?
Direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. Vectors have a scalar size and a vector direction.
