Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of a vector quantity: a vector has both magnitude and direction.
Recall that force is a vector because it not only has a size (magnitude) but also acts in a specific direction.
Compare the options given: time, mass, and temperature are scalar quantities, meaning they have magnitude only and no direction.
Recognize that the additional property that makes force a vector is its direction.
Conclude that force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
