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

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as , where a
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3 times louder

Explanation:

The Loudness in decibel Db  L = 10㏒(I/I₀)  where I = sound intensity level and I₀ = threshold of hearing = 10⁻¹² W/m².

Now, for Jessica, I₁ = sound intensity level of Jessica's music = 10⁻⁹

and I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₁ = 10㏒(10⁻⁹/10⁻¹²)

L₁ = 10㏒(10³)

L₁ = 3 × 10㏒10

L₁ = 30㏒10

L₁ = 30 dB

Now, for Braylee, I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₂ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁻³/10⁻¹²)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁹)

L₂ = 9 × 10㏒10

L₂ =90㏒10

L₂ = 90 dB

So, the number of times Braylee's music is louder than Jessica's music is L₂/L₁ = 90 dB/30 dB = 3

So, Braylee's music is 3 times louder than Jessica's music

Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One pa
Serga [27]

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

v_r = Speed of river

v_c = Speed of canoe

v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s

v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s

Adding the equations we get

2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s

0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

A wheel 1.0 m in radius rotates with an angular acceleration of 4.0rad/s2 . (a) If the wheel’s initial angular velocity is 2.0 r
Oliga [24]

Answer:

(a) ωf= 42 rad/s

(b) θ = 220 rad

(c) at = 4 m/s²  ,  v = 42 m/s

Explanation:

The uniformly accelerated circular movement,  is a circular path movement in which the angular acceleration is constant.

There is tangential acceleration (at ) and is constant.

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated :

ωf= ω₀ + α*t  Formula (1)

θ=  ω₀*t + (1/2)*α*t²  Formula (2)

at = α*R  Formula (3)

v= ω*R  Formula (4)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

t : time interval (s)

ω₀ : initial angular velocity ( rad/s)

ωf: final angular velocity ( rad/s)

R : radius of the circular path (cm)

at : tangential acceleration (m/s²)

v : tangential speed (m/s)

Data

α = 4.0 rad/s² : wheel’s angular acceleration

t = 10 s

ω₀ = 2.0 rad/s  : wheel’s initial angular velocity

R = 1.0 m  : wheel’s radium

(a)  Wheel’s angular velocity after 10 s

We replace data in the formula (1):

ωf= ω₀ + α*t

ωf= 2 + (4)*(10)

ωf= 42 rad/s

(b) Angle that rotates the wheel in the 10 s interval

We replace data in the formula (2):

θ=  ω₀*t + (1/2)*α*t²

θ=  (2)*(10) + (1/2)*(4)*(10)²

θ=  220 rad  

θ=  220 rad  

(c) Tangential speed and acceleration of a point on the rim of the wheel at the end of the 10-s interval

We replace data in the Formula (3)

at = α*R = (4)(1)

at = 4 m/s²

We replace data in the Formula (4)

v= ω*R = (42)*(1)

v = 42 m/s
