Torque is got by the cross product of two vectors namely force vector and perpendicular radius vector
Tau (torque) = r X F
But work is got by the scalar product of force vector and displacement vector
Hence W = F . S
Power can be scalar or vector, e.g d/dt torque = vector power; d/dt mcV = mcA a vector power.
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.
No, power is not a vector quantity. It is a scalar quantity that represents the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
Energy is a scalar quantity.Answer2: It depends on the angle!Energy can be a scalar or a vector; consider the vectors F force and D displacement:FD = -F.D + FxD = |FD| (cos(angle) + v sin(angle)).F.D is called work a form of energy and is a scalar; FxD is called Torque and is a vector form of energy. both work and Torque have units of joules or newton times meters.Energy like many quantities in physics is a quaternion consisting of a scalar part and a vector part; E = Escalar + Evector = E(cos(angle) + v sin(angle)), whether the quantity is a scalar or a vector or both depends on the angle.
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.

vector, power= work/time and work= force * distance, force is vector.
Electric potential is a scalar quantity since work done and charge are scalars
No, power is not a vector quantity. It is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude, not direction. Power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
Torque is vector energy. Physicists have mistakenly defined energy as a scalar. Energy is a quaternion consisting of scalar energy (potential) and vector energy (torque). The units of torque is Joules or Newton meter, the same as work or energy..Here is the correct definition of Energy = FD = -F.D + FxD where F is force vector in Newtons and D is displacement vector in meters.F.D = - FDcos(Angle) is the Work or scalar energy and FxD=FDsin(Angle) is the Torque or vector energy. If the angle between the force and displacement is 90 degrees there is only torque; if the angle is a zero degrees there is only work or scalar energy ; if the angle is not a multiple of these two angles there is both scalar and vector energy; work and torque. E.g FD= -Fdcos(45) + Fd sin(45) gives work and torque.
Work done is a scalar quantity, meaning it has magnitude but no specific direction. It is measured in joules, which represents the amount of energy transferred by a force acting over a distance.
Work is the product of a force a nd a displacement. Both of those are vectors. There are two ways to multiply vectors. One of them produces another vector, the other produces a scalar. The calculation for 'work' uses the scalar product. The procedure is: (magnitude of one vector) times (magnitude of the other vector) times (cosine of the angle between them). Answer2: Work is a scalar because Physics has a major defect in defining energy as a scalar. Nature defines energy as a Quaternion, the sum of a scalar and a vector. Work is a Quaternion, W = FD= -F.D + FxD , -F.D is a scalar and FxD is a vector. Physics defines Work as -FDcos(FD) and defines FxD = FDsin(FD) as Torque. When Physics understands Nature and Quaternions, then both F.D and FXD will both be recognized as energy, scalar energy and vector energy.
