Force has magnitude as well as __________________.

Open in App

Solution

Force is the push or pull which causes a change in state of any object.
$F o r c e = m a s s \times a c c l e r a t i o n$ .
As acceleration is a vector quantity therefore force is also a vector quantity.
Thus, the force has magnitude as well as direction.
Hence, Force has magnitude as well as direction.
