The use of a vector quantity would be most appropriate in the situation of **determining the net force that is acting on an object**.
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, which is essential for analyzing forces. In contrast, the other situations primarily involve scalar quantities, which only have magnitude (speed, temperature, time).
