Time interval is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction associated with it. It is measured in units such as seconds or hours.

For differentiation, you have to divide a vector by a scalar. Therefore, you should get a vector.

Since you can represent that with a single number, it isn't a vector - just a scalar.


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.


Is time a vector or scalar quantity?

Time is a scalar quantity. And any interval of time is also scalar. It has magnitude only. A vector quantity is a scalar quantity that has the added or extra "dimension" of direction. Time has magnitude, but is not considered to have direction as such. Time, though it can be "tricky" to deal with in quantum mechanics, is generally thought of as moving "forward" and generally cannot more in another direction. (Save the "exceptions" for more advanced physics, please.) Time travel is relatively impossible now, but if you graphed time, you would see a parabolic motion.


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.
