The "common sense" (or culinary) answer is that a fruit is something you would put in a fruit bowl, while a vegetable is any (non-sweet) part of a plant that you'd be able to serve in a dish. The botanically correct answer, however, might surprise you, as many things you'd call vegetables are in fact fruits, such as your examples as well as tomatoes, cucumbers etc. The (botanical) fruit of a plant is the seed-carrying ovary. If it is high in fruit sugar, or fructose, it tastes sweet and is subsequently called a "fruit" in the culinary sense. "Fruits" that aren't pure botanical fruits are, among others, pineapples and strawberries. So, unless you're a botanist, a "vegetable" is any non-sweet edible part of a plant, while a a "fruit" is any sweet edible part of a plant.
