What is the difference between zero and zero vector in vector algebra?
Zero is a number (a scalar quantity without unit) while zero vector (or null vector) is a vector quantity having zero magnitude and arbitrary direction.
What is the level of measurements for year of birth?
It is an interval scale. It is not a ratio scale, the next higher level, because the zero is arbitrary and not unique from one calendar to another.
How does a thermometer use integers?
For temperatures, zero is an arbitrary reference point, depending on which scale is used. For Celsius, zero is assigned the the temperature at which water freezes. So temperatures which are colder than this temperature will be negative values, and temperatures warmer will be positive values. Fahrenheit uses a different reference point for zero, but similar principles apply.
What is 0 degree longitute?
The 0 degree longitude is the imaginary line that goes from pole to pole, passing through Greenwich in London, site of the Royal Observatory. The choice of the zero point for longitudes is arbitrary and many major cities were used. Eventually, in 1884, the Greenwich Meridian was accepted as the internationally agreed zero longitude.
What is an arbitrary integer?
An arbitrary integer is basically the same as any integer. If a math problem says: "Let n be an arbitrary integer", it means that n can be any integer. A random integer in other words.
What is arbitrary zero?
Arbitrary zero us a zero point which is set or convenience. It DOES NOT mean absence of the variable.
What is the difference between zero and zero vector in vector algebra?
Zero is a number (a scalar quantity without unit) while zero vector (or null vector) is a vector quantity having zero magnitude and arbitrary direction.
Can energies or electrons in a carbon atom take on any arbitrary value greater than zero?
No, energies or electrons in a carbon atom cannot have arbitrary values greater than zero. They are quantized and can only have specific discrete values determined by the quantum mechanics of the atom.
What is the level of measurement where each number can be thought of as a distance measured from zero?
In general, the level of measurement is on an interval scale (temperature in deg C or F) because the zero point is arbitrary. However, if the zero is unique and non-arbitrary, then it is a ratio scale (temperature in Kelvin).
What measure temperature?
The basic unit is a Kelvin but it is common to use a degree Celsius. The Kelvin scale is absolute whereas the zero point on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.
What is null vector?
NULL VECTOR::::null vector is avector of zero magnitude and arbitrary direction the sum of a vector and its negative vector is a null vector...
Why do we need to us the kelvin scale when working with gases?
Because differences (or changes) in temperatures need to be measured on an absolute scale not a scale with its zero at an arbitrary point.
What is the level of measurement for year of birth?
It is an interval scale. It is not a ratio scale, the next higher level, because the zero is arbitrary and not unique from one calendar to another.
How much is a business license in california?
about $25, each city has its own arbitrary rates. [for an internet business, zero as one should not even apply for one]
What is the level of measurements for year of birth?
It is an interval scale. It is not a ratio scale, the next higher level, because the zero is arbitrary and not unique from one calendar to another.
What is a sentence for Arbitrary?
These are our output. But it is Arbitrary.
Gravitational potential energy is always measured in relation to?
Gravitational potential energy is always measured in relation to an arbitrary reference point, usually taken as zero at an infinite distance away from the source of gravity. This reference point allows us to calculate the change in potential energy as an object moves within a gravitational field.
