Question

Which statement about forces is true? A. Forces are defined by strength but not direction. B. Forces are defined by direction but not strength. C. Forces are defined by both strength and direction. D. Forces act only on objects that are in contact.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The direction and strength affect the force

Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A force is defined as the strength applied on an object to displace it from its initial position.

This, force applied to move the object is known as work.

Mathematically,              W = F × d

where         W = work done

                   F = force

                   d = displacement or distance moved

Thus, we can conclude that the statement forces are defined by both strength and direction, is true about forces.
