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 5 N force is applied to a 3 kg ball to change its velocity from 9 m/s to 3 m/s. What is the impulse on the ball ?
nika2105 [10]
So, first the formula of Impulse is
I = force * time
We have force but no time.
Then, find time.
Next find acceleration,
F = mass * acceleration
5 = 3 * a
1.67 m/s^2
Next find time,
Acceleration = change in velocity / time
Change in velocity is velocity final - velocity initial
1.67 = 3 - 9 / time
Time = 3.6 s (round to 2 s.f.)
Lastly,
Impulse = force * time
Impulse = 5 * 3.6
Impulse is 18 Ns

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that
3241004551 [841]
Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull
