Answer: Acceleration due to gravity

Explanation: Force, F = mg, is a vector quantity because the acceleration due to gravity, g, is a vector quantity. Explanation: F = mg Where m is the mass (in kilograms) of the object in question and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Mass is a scalar quantity; mass has no dependence on direction whatsoever.
