Question

A force to be expressed correctly requires

• A. only the magnitude
• B. only the direction
• C. both the magnitude and direction
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C

both the magnitude and direction

Correct option is C: both the magnitude and direction

Explanation:

1. Force is an external effort in the form of push or pull that can change the speed, direction, and shape of the body.
2. Force always has some direction. The direction in which a body is pushed or pulled is called the direction of the force.
3. Therefore, Force has both magnitude as well as direction.
4. So, to express it correctly we require both the magnitude and direction.

Hence , a force to be expressed correctly requires both the magnitude and direction.
