🔍 Key Concepts

• Vector vs scalar quantities in physics • The basic definition of force (think of a push or a pull) • Relationship between force, work, and power

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does force require a direction to be fully described, or is a size (amount) enough? • Which quantity describes "work in a unit of time"—is that force, or another term you’ve seen in physics? • If something can change both the speed and the direction of motion of an object, what kind of quantity is it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether force needs both magnitude and direction to be complete. • Recall the formula that relates work and time and the name of that quantity. • Eliminate any choice that claims force is not the type of quantity you know it to be from basic mechanics.
