Question

Is it possible to add a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
Explain.

Answer 1

Nope. You cannot do that, since scalars don't follow vector algebra.

Answer 2

No, only like quantities can be added, so even if both quantities are vectors eg force and acceleration, or both scalars like energy and time, they still cannot be ...

Answer 3

@Eyad Did you forget to credit Wikihow?

Answer 4

Answer 13

Ok Thanks

Answer 14

lets try it

\[\alpha=6\\
\vec v=\langle1,2,0\rangle\]

\[\alpha+\vec v=6+\langle1,2,0\rangle=\,?\]
\[\alpha\times \vec v=6\langle1,2,0\rangle=\langle6\times1,6\times2,6\times0\rangle=\langle 6,12,0\rangle\]
