Answer:

(Question 1) Which statement best describes force?

(Answer) Force is a vector quantity that measures both direction and magnitude of a push or pull on an object.

(Question 2) A soccer ball is traveling downfield with a force of 1.2 kN and strikes another soccer ball that is stationary. Which of the following describes the result of the collision?

(Answer) The stationary soccer ball will begin moving downfield and the ball that struck it will slow down.

(Question 3) Which of the following scenarios accurately describes magnitude and direction?

(Answer) A car traveling northward with 5 kN of force could be brought to a stop by a southward force of 5 kN.

(Question 4) What is force directly proportional to?

(Answer) the acceleration and mass of an object

(Question 5) Two ropes are being used to suspend a box. Each rope is exerting 5 N of upward force. If the forces are balanced and the box is stationary, how much force is being exerted by the box itself and in which direction?

(Answer) The box exerts 10 N of force downward.

Answer:

Force Is a Vector Quantity that measures both direction and magnitude of a push or pull on an object.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Force= Mass × Acceleration. And when applying force, there is a direction at which the body is focused on. Hope this helps
