The following statement is either true​ (in all​ cases) or false​ (for at least one​ example). If​ false, construct a specific e

xample to show that the statement is not always true. Such an example is called a counterexample to the statement. If a statement is​ true, give a justification. If v1 and v2 are in set of real numbers R Superscript 4 and v2 is not a scalar multiple of v1​, then ​{v1​,v2​} is linearly independent. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is false. The vector v1 could be a scalar multiple of vector v2. B. The statement is false. The vector v1 could be the zero vector. C. The statement is true. A set of vectors is linearly independent if and only if none of the vectors are a scalar multiple of another vector. D. The statement is false. The vector v1 could be equal to the vector v2.

Answer:

  • B. The statement is false. The vector v1 could be the zero vector.

Explanation:

Two vectors \vec{v}_1 and \vec{v}_2 are linearly independent if the equation

\alpha_1 \vec{v}_1 + \alpha_2 \vec{v}_2 = \vec{0}

where \alpha_1 and \alpha_2 are scalars, has only one solution:

\alpha_1 = \alpha_2 = 0.

If there is more than one solution, we say that the vector are linearly dependent.

<h3>Why the answer is B. :</h3>

if \vec{v}_1 = 0 then, \alpha_1 could have any value of the scalar group, as for any scalar \alpha

\alpha * \vec{0} = \vec{0}

So, we get that there is more than one solution.

So, a particular counterexample is:

\vec{v}_1  = (0,0,0,0)

\vec{v}_2 = (1,0,0,0)

as \vec{v}_2 is not an scalar multiple of \vec{v}_2, and the equation

\alpha_1 \vec{v}_1 + \alpha_2 \vec{v}_2 = \vec{0}

has as solution

\alpha_1 = 2

\alpha_2 = 0

as we can see

2 (0,0,0,0) + 0 (1,0,0,0) = \vec{0}

(2* 0,2 *0,2*0,2*0) +  (0*1,0*0,0*0,0*0) = \vec{0}

(0,0,0,0) +  (0,0,0,0) = \vec{0}

(0+0,0+0,0+0,0+0) = \vec{0}

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.

A mother and her 35.0 -kg child are riding an escalator to the third level of a shopping mall. If the child's gravitational pote
notka56 [123]

The increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

The potential energy increases by 3773 J

PE₂-PE₁=mg(h₂-h₁)

3773 J = 35.0 × 9.81 × (h₂-h₁)

(h₂-h₁) = 10.98

Case 2 ;

ΔPE =?

ΔPE=mg(h₂-h₁)

ΔPE=56.0 × 9.81 ×10.98

ΔPE=6031.97 J.

Hence, the increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.

Justin depends 600watts if power pushing a car 10m in 5sec how much force did he exert
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Force exerted by Justin=300 N

Here power= 600 W

distance traveled=10 m

time=5 s

power is given by P= Work done/ time

600=work/5

so work= 60x5=3000J

now work done= force* distance

3000=F *10

F= 3000/10

F=300 N

The same book is placed on a table .9m high. What type of energy does it have and how much?
Lina20 [59]

<em>mass (m)= 5 kg</em>

<em>height (h)= 9m </em>

<em>gravity (g)= 9.8 m/s^2</em>

It has Potential energy. (PE)

• PE = mgh

Replacing:

PE = 5 * 9.8 * 9 = 441 Joules
