Forces are measured in newtons (n). why are forces considered to be vectors?

A force has both magnitude and direction, therefore: Force is a vector quantity; its units are newtons, N. Forces can cause motion; alternatively forces can act to keep (an) object(s) at rest. ... Consider two forces of magnitudes 5 N and 7 N acting on a particle, with an angle of 90◦ between them.
