Answer 1

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).
