Not at all. Scalar are numerical quantities without direction (for example time) where as vectors are numerical

quantities with direction (for example gravitational force downward)

Can you add a scalar to a vector?

Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.


What are the quantities that identifies scalar and vector quantities?

A vector is characterized by having not only a magnitude, but a direction. If a direction is not relevant, the quantity is called a scalar.


Is mass a vector or scalars?

Mass is a scalar value. Scalar refers to the magnitude of the object. Vector refers to the direction. If an object is moving, it's mass is scalar and its velocity is vectorial because the velocity has a magnitude (how fast) and a direction. Hope this helps. Search Scalar and vector for the true scientific definitions.


What the magnitude alone of a vector quantity could be called?

The magnitude alone of a vector quantity is often referred to as the scalar component of the vector. This represents the size or length of the vector without considering its direction.


Is time a scalar or a vector?

Scalar


What is the arrow over letters called?

The arrow over letters is typically referred to as a "vector" notation in mathematics and physics. It indicates that the letter represents a vector quantity, which has both magnitude and direction. For example, a vector denoted by (\vec{v}) indicates a vector named "v." This notation helps distinguish vectors from scalar quantities, which are represented by regular letters without arrows.


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.
