A force can be completely described by

• A. its magnitude
• B. its direction
• C. its magnitude and direction
• D. neither magnitude nor direction

Answer 1

The correct option is C

its magnitude and direction

The explanation for correct option:

Option (C):

1. Force is an external agent capable of changing the state of rest or motion of a particular body.
2. It has a magnitude and a direction and is thus called a vector quantity.
3. The magnitude of the force can be measured using a spring balance.
4. The SI unit of force is Newton (N).

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
