1.12 understand that force is a vector quantity

Force is a vector quantity due to the following reasons –

• It has magnitude i.e has the value of its size.
• It has direction.
• When applied force, an object moves with particular motion in a fixed direction.

E.g: Gravitional force has one direction which is downwards. Upthrust has the direction of upwards.
