A. The type of force
B. The direction of the force
C. The motion of the force
D. The amount of force
D. The amount of force
The magnitude of a force is a quantitative measure of the size or amount of the force. In physics, it is typically measured in newtons (N) and represents the strength or intensity of the force. It does not take into account the direction in which the force is applied; that is a separate attribute of a force.
