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 jet engine gets its thrust by taking in air, heating and compressing it, and
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw

Explanation:

Thrust is known as a reaction force which appears when a system expels or accelerates mass in one specific direction. If we know the acceleration and the mass of the air expelled by the jet engine, we can compute the thrust .

The acceleration is calculated by using the dynamics formula

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The values are  

v_f=500\ m/s,\ v_o=100\ m/s,\ t=1\ sec

\displaystyle a=\frac{500-100}{1}=400\ m/s^2

The thrust is

F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw

How loudness of a sound wave depends on the intensity of the sound wave?
Anestetic [448]
Loudness of a sound wave is directly proportional to the intensity of the sound wave. In other words, when one increases, other also increases and vice-versa

An empty beaker is placed on a top-pan balance. Some water is now poured into the beaker.What is the weight of the water? A. 0.0
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A. 0.044 kg

Explanation:

We need to subtract the sum of (beaker+water - empty beaker) which is 0.106 kg - 0.062 kg = 0.044 kg. The answer will not be written in Newton because this unit is used for force only and in this question w have to find the weight.

Hope it is enough.

Please mark me as brainliest.

What is the weight of a 8-kg substance in N, kN, kg·m/s2, kgf, lbm·ft/s2, and lbf?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

W = 78.48N\\W =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\

W= 3.6lbf\\W= 115.2 lbm*ft/s2

Explanation:

if

m=8kg=3.6lb\\

and g=9.81 m/s2=32.16 ft/s2

and

W=m*g

we can just replace de mass and gravity and we have

W = 8kg * 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} } =78.48N\\W = \frac{78.48N}{1000} =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\

W= 3.6lbf\\W= 3.6lbm *32.16 ft/s2 =115.2 lbm*ft/s2
