Gravitational field is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude (strength) and direction. It represents the force experienced by a mass placed in the field due to the presence of another mass.
WEIGHT is a VECTOR quantity .. because the weight has the direction into the surface of the earth to the down effected by the gravity .. but mass is a scalar quantity like 90 kg .. so .. WEIGHT IS VECTOR ..
Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
It's a 0th order tensor, also known as a scalar.
No, upthrust is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. Upthrust is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, and its direction is always opposite to the direction of gravity.
The Law of Numbers?There are two kinds of numbers scalars and vectors. The law of multiplication of Numbers says, the product of a scalar and a vector is a vector.In 4D derivative is X = [d/dr, GRAD] = [d/dr, Id/dx + Jd/dy + kd/dz]GRAD is a vector.The 4D derivative of a number [b,B], where b is the scalar and B is the vector, is;X[b, B] = [d/dr, GRAD] [b.B] = [db/dr - GRAD.B, dB/dr + GRAD b + GRADxB]The general rules of numbers are:1.Scalar by scalar products are scalars e.g. db/dr2. Scalar by vectors and vector by scalars are vectors, e,g, dB/dr and GRAD b3. Vector Dot (.) Products are scalars ,e.g. GRAD.B4. Vector Cross (x) Products are vectors, e.g. GRADxB.
Gravity is a force, and forces have magnitude and direction; hence, it is a vector.
Vector.
A scalar times a vector is a vector.

Scalar field and vector field.
Gravity is a vector, because it is a form of acceleration (which we know by definition is a vector). Vectors hold more 'information' than scalars, because vectors are, put simply, a scalar + a direction. To help you figure out these types of questions in the future, all you have to do is figure out whether direction is an important aspect of the value in question.

No, upthrust is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. Upthrust is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, and its direction is always opposite to the direction of gravity.
A magnetic field is neither: it is a vector field with both direction and quantity.
In mathematics, a field is a set with certain operators (such as addition and multiplication) defined on it and where the members of the set have certain properties. In a vector field, each member of this set has a value AND a direction associated with it. In a scalar field, there is only vaue but no direction.
