Answer 1

The correct 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.**

Forces are indeed vector quantities, meaning they have both magnitude (how strong the force is) and direction (the direction in which the force is applied).
