force is a scalar quantity that measures both direction and magnitude of a push or pull on an object.
force is a vector quantity that measures both direction and magnitude of a push or pull on and object.
force is a vector quantity that measures both momentum and magnitude of a push or pull on an object.

Answer 1

The statement that best describes force is:

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

This definition correctly identifies force as a vector, which means it has both magnitude (how strong the force is) and direction (where the force is applied).
