1. Magnitude: This refers to the strength or intensity of the force. It's typically measured in units like Newtons (N).

2. Direction: This indicates the way in which the force acts. It's often described using compass directions (north, south, east, west) or angles relative to a reference point.

For example, a force of 10 Newtons acting eastward is different from a force of 10 Newtons acting northward, even though they have the same magnitude.
