Kinetic energy is a scalar because it only has magnitude, not direction. It's just like your bank balance—doesn't matter which way you're headed!

Kinetic energy is scalar. It doesn't care which way you’re going, just how fast and how heavy you are!

Definitely scalar! I've worked with KE equations in physics courses, and trust me, it's all about magnitude, no vectors in sight.
