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

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so \frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

As T_1 is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are V_a and V_b respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

V_{ba}=V_b-V_a

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

3.2075*10^16

Explanation:

Q=P/V just search up a converter and youll get 30V and so you do 15/30 which is a half and a single coulomb is 6.415*10^16 so you half it. I belive this is correct if you dont belive me wait for someone else smarter to answer and compare.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The image of everything in front of the mirror is reflected backward, retracing the path it traveled to get there. Nothing is switching left to right or up-down. Instead, it's being inverted front to back. ... That reflection represents the photons of light, bouncing back in the same direction from which they came
