Question
Can you add two vectors representing physical quantities having different dimensions? Can you multiply two vectors representing physical quantities having different dimensions?

Answer

Two quantities cannot be added or subtracted if they have different dimensions be it a vector or a scalar quantity. But they can be multiplied or divided, or only multiplied in the case of vectors.
