Force is a:
Correct answer: B. Vector quantity
- A. Scalar quantity
- B. Vector quantity
- C. None of these
- D. Tensor
Explanation
A scalar quantity is defined as the quantity that is only defined by magnitude whereas a vector quantity is defined by the magnitude as well as direction. Since force is defined both by its magnitude and direction, it is a vector quantity.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
