Answer:

C. 18 s

&

B. -7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 12 m/s, East is a vector. It says "East" so it would be a vector. Therefore this is not our answer since it's a vector and the question is asking for which one is not a vector.

B. It says "7 m". I think that means 7 meters. That's a length. There is no direction. It's not 7 meters up, or to the east, or north. So, with no direction, it's not a vector. Therefore this is not our answer.

C. For this one it says ""18 s". I think that means "18 seconds". Since this one is not mentioned "direction" meaning it's not a vector. Since the question is asking for the ones that are not a vector this would be another answer.

D. Since this one says "miles" it means it has a direction since it has a direction it is probably a vector, since it's a vector it wouldn't be our answer. Therefore this is not our answer.
