A force is a vector - in two dimensions, you can represent it on paper as an arrow. Such vector/arrows have a size, and a direction. The size is usually called the "magnitude".

What is magnatued?

It appears there may have been a misspelling. If you meant "magnitude," it refers to the size or importance of something. Magnitude can be measured in various ways depending on the context, such as in physics (magnitude of force), astronomy (magnitude of stars), or seismology (magnitude of earthquakes).


If Refers To The Size Or Strength Of The Force?

The "size" of a vector quantity - such as a force - is often called a MAGNITUDE.


Is it possible for the magnitude of force to be negative?

No, the magnitude of force cannot be negative. Force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of force is always a positive value, representing the strength of the force applied.


How do you find the magnitude in force?

To find the magnitude of a force, you can use the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. By multiplying the mass and the acceleration, you can determine the magnitude of the force acting on an object.


What is a magnitude of force?

The magnitude of a force is its 'size' or 'strength', regardless of its direction.


A force has both what?

A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.


What is the size of a force called?

It is the magnitude of the force applied in Newtons or pounds


What is the ratio of the magnitude of the electric force to the magnitude of the magnetic force in a given scenario?

The ratio of the magnitude of the electric force to the magnitude of the magnetic force in a given scenario is determined by the charge and velocity of the particles involved. This ratio is known as the electromagnetic force ratio.


A force vector describes what two things about a force?

magnitude and direction more accurate magnitude and sence.


What two things do force have?

Magnitude and direction.


Can you increase the horizontal component of the force that you exert on the mower without increasing the magnitude of the force?

No, the horizontal component of a force is directly related to the magnitude of the force. Increasing the horizontal component of the force would require increasing the magnitude of the force itself.
