Work is scalar
Work W is both a scalar (F.D) and a vector (FxD), in short work is a Quaternion,

W = [0,F][0,D]= [00 -F.D, 0D + F0 + FxD] = [-F.D, FxD] .

Physics has yet to recognize that Work and Energy are Quaternions and thus define work and energy as a scalar. Nature and mathematics recognize work as as a Quaternion manifested by the reality of F.D and FxD.

Work is a scalar when the angle between F and D is a multiple of even 90 degrees and a torque when the angle is an odd multiple of 90 degrees.

Is work vector or scaler quantity?

Work is a scalar quantity, as it is described by a single value (the amount of energy transferred) and does not have a direction associated with it.


Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in what?

When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.

Is work a vector quantity?

No, work is not a vector quantity. It is a scalar quantity that represents the transfer of energy when a force is applied over a distance.


What is a scalar multiplied by a vector?

A scalar multiplied by a vector involves multiplying each component of the vector by the scalar value. This operation scales the vector's magnitude while retaining its direction if the scalar is positive, or reversing its direction if the scalar is negative. The result is a new vector that has the same direction as the original (or the opposite direction if the scalar is negative) but a different magnitude.
