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

Katen [24]

Answer:

v = 10 [m/s]

Explanation:

The largest mass is that of 4 [kg], in this way the momentum can be calculated by means of the product of the mass by velocity.

$P=m*v\\$

where:

P = momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 4 [kg]

v = velocity = 5 [m/s]

Now the momentum:

$P=4*5\\P=20[kg*m/s]$

This same momentum is equal for the other mass, in this way we can find the velocity.

$P=m*v\\20=2*v\\v=10[m/s]$

ira [324]

Answer:

4.08 s

Explanation:

Let the passenger took "t" time to catch the train

so in this case the total distance moved by the train + 5 m = total distance moved by the passenger

so we will have

distance moved by train is given as

$d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(0.6) t^2$

also the distance moved by passenger

$d_2 = \frac{1}{2}(1.2) t^2$

so we will have

$d_1 + 5 = d_2$

$0.3 t^2 + 5 = 0.6 t^2$

$0.3 t^2 = 5$

t = 4.08 s
