One of the difficulties in studying mechanics is that many common words are used with highly specific technical meanings, among them velocity, acceleration, position, speed, and displacement. Answer the question in this problem using words from the following list:

a. position
b. direction
c. displacement
d. coordinates
e. velocity
f. acceleration
g. distance
h. magnitude
i. vector
j. scalar components

Identify the following physical quantities as scalars or vectors.

a. Position
b. Velocity
c. Displacement
d. Speed
e. Average velocity
f. Distance

1) Scalar quantity: This are quantities that gas only magnitude but doesn't specify direction. They only talk about the position of an object in space. For example, Distance, position, speed at all scaler quantities because they didn't specify direction. Distance only talk about how far a body has traveled while speed talks about how far a body has traveled in a specified period of time.

Scalar quantities are:

- Position: coordinate of point on a plane.

- Speed: Speed is the distance covered in a specified time.

- Distance: is how far a body has travelled.

2) Vector quantity: This is a quantity that has both MAGNITUDE and DIRECTION. They specify both position of an object as well as the direction of travel. Example of vector quantities are:

- Velocity: This is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time. Since displacement specifies direction, hence velocity is classified as a vector quantity.

- Displacement: This is the distance traveled by a body in a specified direction.

- Average velocity: distance travelled in a specified time.
