Electric Charge (SCALAR)
Electric charges are particles (electrons, protons) so charge is not defined
as a vector. However, the electric field generated by a charge is a vector
... and so is the force vector on other charged particles.
Centrifugal Force (VECTOR)
Weight is a force (VECTOR)
Frequency (SCALAR)
Heat (SCALAR)
Density (SCALAR)

Vectors have both MAGNITUDE (how big how small) and direction (which way its going/affecting/pushing/pulling)
Scalars have only magnitude and no direction.
1. Charge is a vector because it will push/pull in a direction and it has magnitude (how much positively charged etc.)
4. Frequency (how often) doesn't have direction, so a SCALAR quantity.
3. Weight= mg where g has direction
Figure out the rest with the same logic. Good luck!
