Which statement best describes force
A vector quantity that measures both direction
and magnitude of an object's movement.
and magnitude and can cause an object to accelerate.
To determine the best statement that describes force, we need to first understand what force is. Force is a physical quantity that is used to describe the push or pull that one object exerts on another object. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
To determine the best statement, we can review the given options and choose the one that accurately represents force. In this case, the statement "A vector quantity that measures both direction" is the most appropriate description of force. This statement correctly identifies force as a vector quantity that measures both the magnitude (strength) and direction of the push or pull.
In summary, force is a vector quantity that not only measures the strength but also the direction of the push or pull exerted by one object on another.
