As per the question there are three physical quantities named as position,distance and displacement.

Before coming into a conclusion first we have to understand a vector and a scalar.

A scalar quantity is a quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specifications.

A vector is a quantity which has magnitude as well as direction and at the same time it is in accordance with the paraellogram law of vector addition.

Out of the three options displacement and position are vector quantities.It is because it is the minimum distance between two points .It has magnitude as well as direction.

Distance can not be considered as a vector quantity as it has only magnitude.There is no specific directions of distance travelled.

Position vector is a vector which provides location of an object in a plane or space.It is nothing else except the point which has x,y,z coordinates with origin is taken as the reference point.

Hence position and displacement are vectors

A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?
NeX [460]

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

W =F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%

Find the length of the third side of the triangle.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

v

Image result for What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below

One way to solve this is to use Pythagorean theorem: the square of one leg of triangle plus square of other leg of the triangle equals c the hypotenuse (longest side of triangle). You might see this as the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.Nov 23, 2016

A ray of yellow light (f = 5.09 × 1014hz) travels at a speed of 2.04 × 108meters per second in
denis23 [38]
Velocity = fλ

where f is frequency in Hz, and λ is wavelength in meters.

2.04 * 10⁸ m/s =  5.09 * 10¹⁴  Hz   *  λ

(2.04 * 10⁸ m/s) / (5.09 * 10¹⁴  Hz ) = λ

4.007*10⁻⁷  m =  λ

The wavelength of the yellow light = 4.007*10⁻⁷  m
