Spring constant is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction. It is represented by a single positive value that determines the stiffness of the spring and is measured in units of force per length (N/m).

Constant, perhaps scalar constant. Since you could have a constant vector or other object, as well.


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.

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 earthquake a scalar or vector?

An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.


Is power vector or scalar?

Power is the time derivative of energy, E. Energy can be scalar or vector. Thus power can be scalar or vector. Energy is a quaternion and consists of a scalar or real part Er and a vector part Ev. Energy E=Er + Ev, for example E= FR = -F.R + FxR = -FRCos(x) + FRsin(x). The real part is a scalar called "Energy" and the vector part is called "Torque" but has the same units Joules. Energy is defined by the units. P=dE/dt = d(Er + Ev)/dt = dEr/dt + dEv/dt = Pr + Pv. Power can be a scalar or a vector or both.

Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?

Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
