There is no such thing as scalar and vector forces. However, there are scalar and vector QUANTITIES, and force is a vector quantity, as all forces have direction and magnitude. Scalar quantities, on the other hand, have only magnitude and no direction.
No, stress is not a vector quantity. It is a scalar quantity that represents the internal forces within a material.
Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
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.
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.
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
A scalar times a vector is a vector.

No, stress is not a vector quantity. It is a scalar quantity that represents the internal forces within a material.
The five different forces are the derivatives of the Quaternion Energy E=Es + Ev=[Es,Ev] where Es is the Scalar Energy and Ev the vector Energy. Force = XE = [d/dr,Del][Es,Ev] = [dEs/dr -Del . Ev, dEv/dr + Del Es + DelxEv] dEs/dr the scalar derivative of the Scalar Energy, the Scalar Centripetal Force Del.Ev the Divergence of the Vector Energy, the Scalar Centrifugal Force dEv/dr the scalar derivative of the Vector Energy, the Vector Tangent Force Del Es the vector Derivative of the Scalar Energy, the Vector Gradient Force DelxEv the Curl of the Vector Energy, the Vector Circulation Force.
Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
Gravity is a force, and forces have magnitude and direction; hence, it is a vector.
Scalar
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.
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
