What can be used to represent the strength and direction of a force?
A vector can represent the direction and strength of a force.
Can be used to represent the direction and strength of a force?
A vector can represent the direction and strength of a force.
Do the words push and pull indicate size and direction?
Push and pull indicate direction only, not size. A push is an application of force which causes something to move away from the source of the force. A pull causes something to move toward the source of the force.
Why is a magnetic field a vector quantity?
Magnetism is a force. Vector notation is required to indicate magnitude and direction of a force.
Do unbalanced and balanced forces have directions in which they travel?
Every force has a direction. Two or more separate forces acting on the same object have thesame effect on the object as a single force. The strength and direction of the equivalent singleforce can easily be calculated, and may not be the same as the strength or direction of any of theindividual forces.

Can be used to represent the direction and strength of a force?
A vector can represent the direction and strength of a force.
What is a magnitude of force?
The magnitude of a force is its 'size' or 'strength', regardless of its direction.
Do the words push and pull indicate size and direction?
Push and pull indicate direction only, not size. A push is an application of force which causes something to move away from the source of the force. A pull causes something to move toward the source of the force.
What is a forces magnitude?

What are the forces on a structure?
Magnitude- The strength of the forceDirection-Where the force is coming fromPoint of direction- Place where the force meets the structure

The strength and direction of the equivalent singleforce can easily be calculated, and may not be the same as the strength or direction of any of theindividual forces.
What is it called when a force is equal in strength but opposite in direction to an action force?
It is called a reaction force. The question you have asked is paraphrase of Newton's third law of motion. Action and reaction are always equal but opposite in direction.
What is a magnetic field vector?
It is a way of representing the magnetic force at a point in the field. The magnitude and direction of the vector represents the strength and the direction of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle in the field.
Does an electric field have strength but no direction?
It has plenty of direction. The direction of the electric field at any point in it is the direction of the force that would be felt by an infinitesimally small positive charge placed at that point.
