Yes. It results in a force that has a magnitude and a direction, and this is the definition of a force vector.

Is specific gravity a vector or scalar quantity?

Gravity is a force, and forces have magnitude and direction; hence, it is a vector.


Is gravity a vector measurement?

The acceleration and force of gravity are vectors.


Is upthrust a vector?

No, upthrust is not a vector. It is a force that acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on an object. It is a scalar quantity and only has a magnitude, not a direction.


How do you prove that weight is a vector quantity?

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.

It's a 0th order tensor, also known as a scalar.


What is the net force of gravity tension friction and air tension?

The net force refers to the vector sum of the individual forces.


is upthrust a scalar or vector quantity?

You've already told us its direction. As soon as you tell us its magnitude, we'll have a vector.


Is the force of 10 newtons 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.


What keeps a rocket from rotating around it's center or gravity?

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.


How doesn't a vertical force effect a horizontal motion?

You need to know about gravity, forces, velocity, acceleration, and vector.


Is A force is a scalar quantity?

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.
