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}

Your friend claims that weather predictions are just guesses. What would you say to change your friend's mind?
VashaNatasha [74]
To change my friends mind, after they've already said weather predictions are just guesses, I would say they are correct, but not only to they use guesses to predict what will happen, but they also, before hand, use atmospheric tools. They then predict from the data collected. They do both.

A cubical block of iron 10 cm on each side is floating on mercury in a vessel. (i) What is the height of the block above the mer
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

i 5.3 cm ii. 72 cm

Explanation:

i

We know upthrust on iron = weight of mercury displaced

To balance, the weight of iron = weight of mercury displaced . So

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₂ = density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of mercury displaced = ?

V₂ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₂ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/13.6 g/cm³ = 529.4 cm³

So, the height of iron above the mercury is h = V₂/area of base iron block

= 529.4 cm³/10² cm² = 5.294 cm ≅ 5.3 cm

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ii

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₃V₃ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₃ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₃ = volume of water displaced = ?

V₃ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₃ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/1 g/cm³ =  7200 cm³

So, the height of column of water is h = V₃/area of base iron block

= 7200 cm³/10² cm² = 72 cm
