NON-COPLANAR VECTORS

Image
Vector is a concept with several meanings. If we focus on the field of physics , we find that a vector is a quantity defined by its sense, its direction, its quantity and its point of application. The adjective coplanar , for its part, is used to describe lines or figures that are in the same plane . It is important to mention, however, that the term is not correct from a grammatical point of view and, therefore, does not appear in the dictionary produced by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). This entity mentions, instead, the word coplanar . The vectors that are part of the same plane, in this way, are coplanar vectors . In contrast, vectors that belong to different planes are called non-coplanar vectors . It is established, therefore, that non-coplanar vectors, as they are not in the same plane, it is essential to go to three axes, to a three-dimensional representation, to expose them. To find out whether the vectors are coplanar or non-coplanar, it is possible t...

NEIGHBOUR

Neighbor is a term that comes from the Latin vicīnus (which, in turn, comes from vicus and means "neighborhood" or "place" ). The concept is used to name someone who lives with others in the same building , neighborhood or town , although in independent dwellings. That is to say: the members of a family who live in the same house are not neighbors among themselves, but rather are neighbors of the families who reside in neighboring or nearby houses. For example: "I have problems with my neighbor as he listens to music at a very high volume during the night" , "I moved three months ago and I still don't know my neighbors" , "Monica got a girlfriend with her neighbor" , " A group of neighbors appeared before the Justice to denounce the existence of businesses that sell stolen merchandise in the neighborhood ” . The notion of neighbor, therefore, depends on geographical proximity . In a strict sense, neighbors a...

NEIGHBORHOOD

The Latin word vicinĭtas came to Castilian as a neighborhood . The concept refers to the condition of neighbor (one who lives with other people in the same building or city, or that which is close to something else). For example: "The new tenant showed his good neighborliness and invited everyone to eat pizza at his house" , "There are basic neighborhood rules that you have to respect" , "We must take advantage of the neighborhood of both nations" . In some countries , a type of housing is called neighborhood in which many people or families with limited economic resources live in independent units . They generally consist of several houses located around a courtyard or linked by common corridors . According to the region, the neighborhood can also be named as tenement , leasehold or barracks , among other names: "Two days we do not have electricity in the neighborhood ago" , "A fire in a central neighborhood left a toll of ...

NOMINAL VALUE

Image
The idea of value can refer to the level of fitness or usefulness of something . In the field of accounting and economics, value is the equivalence that exists between two things, generally taking into account a currency. Value, on the other hand, can be a document that represents an amount loaned or participation in a commercial company. In this context, the nominal value is called the figure with which a commercial document is issued (such as a share ). This nominal value is the original , the ideal or the theoretical one . Instead, the actual value is the result of a specific measurement at a specific time. Generally, the face value arises by convention, rule or agreement. In a share, the par value is set by its issuer and appears in writing. Suppose a company begins trading on the stock market and in its first issuance of securities, it issued 10,000 shares with a par value of $ 50 each. Over time, the price of the shares may change. Thus, a stock that was ...
