Question

Is force a scalar quantity?

Answer 1

Scalar and Vector quantity

1. A scalar quantity is one that has no direction and just has a magnitude.
2. A vector quantity is one that has both a magnitude and a direction.

Force

1. Acceleration, which is defined as the rate of change of velocity, is proportional to force.
2. Force is the derivative of a body's momentum with respect to time in calculus.
3. In other terms, force is any action that tends to keep or change a body's motion or to change its direction.
4. Force is a vector, it has both a direction and a magnitude.
5. SI unit of force is Newton $\left(N\right)$.

Force formula

$F=m\times a[whereF=force,m=mass,a=acceleartion]$

Force is not a scalar quantity. Force is a vector quantity, as it has both direction and magnitude.
