Question

1 what are the components of a force vector? a magnitude and velocity b acceleration and direction c friction and speed d direction and magnitude

Explanation:

A force vector is a vector quantity, and all vector quantities have two main components: magnitude (the size or strength of the force) and direction (the path along which the force acts). Option A is incorrect because velocity is not a component of a force vector. Option B is incorrect as acceleration is related to force via Newton's second law but is not a component of the force vector itself. Option C is incorrect because friction is a type of force and speed is a scalar quantity, neither of which are the components of a force vector. Option D correctly identifies the two components of a force vector as direction and magnitude.

Answer:

D. Direction and magnitude
