Yes. It results in a force that has a magnitude and a direction, and this is the definition of a force vector.
It's a 0th order tensor, also known as a scalar.
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
There's most likely no such thing as a "balance force". And if you're thinking of "a set of balanced forces whose vector sum is zero", then gravity is most certainly NOT one of those.
First of all, gravity is not a force, it is an acceleration. What you mean is the force of weight, which is the acceleration of gravity multiplied by mass (all forces are vectors, and gravity is not a vector.) When air resistance is subtracted from weight, you have the net force on a falling object (assuming those are the only forces acting on it.)
Weight is defined as a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity. It has both magnitude nd weight. Actually acceleration has both magnitude nd direction so is a vector quantity. The product of vector quantity and a scaler quantity gives us vector quantity. As weight is a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity so its a vector quantity. Moaz khaliq
The acceleration and force of gravity are vectors.
Gravity is a force, and forces have magnitude and direction; hence, it is a vector.

You don't need to prove much - just look at the definition of a vector. A vector includes a magnitude (in this case the force), and a direction. Since weight (or "the force of gravity") is directed to a certain direction, namely downward, you can consider it a vector.You don't need to prove much - just look at the definition of a vector.

A downward force of 6 Newtons is a weight measurement. It is taken to be the force on the object due to gravity.
The net force refers to the vector sum of the individual forces.
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Because the force has only a y vector, but no x vector. same thing with throwing a spear lets say, the force is mostly made up with an x vector, and very little y vector, and therefore it flies almost straight.
You need to know about gravity, forces, velocity, acceleration, and vector.

Force is a vector quantity. It has both magnitudeand direction.Let's look at a something and think about it. If you apply a force to something in an attempt to move it, the force will have to have direction associated with its magnitude. It must have direction. It doesn't make sense for force to not have direction. Gravity is a force of attraction between masses. A ball falls because the earth attracts it, and it falls down. That's the direction vector associated with gravity.
mass of object*acceleration (usually due to gravity-9.8m/s^2)*mu (friction constant for surface) if the object is on a slope, you would multiply the force by the sine of the angle the normal force vector makes with the acceleration vector...
