A rank-m tensor is a mathematical object that represents N^m real numbers, where N is the dimension of space. rank-0 Tensor: represents a single real number and is usually called a …

MOST "socially sensitive" issues are explored in this way. A major value of much fiction - and science fiction in particular - is the ability to examine controversial issues of importance to …

Your question doesn’t seem logical. Neither 3sqrt(-64) or sqrt(-64) can be simplified to real numbers. The square root of a negative number is always an imaginary number. The …

Explanation below Significant figures express to the reader how precise the measurement is. They correspond directly to the amount of precision one can get from using a particular …

You use the atomic number. The atomic number always tells you the number of protons an atom has. For example, the element boron has an atomic number of 5. This means that all boron …

Oxides that form neither an acid nor a base, in combination with water. Acid oxides will react with water to ultimately give off H^+: Sulphur trioxide SO_3 will form sulfuric acid: SO_3 (g) + H_2O …

A Central Force is a special kind of force that originates from a single point in space. A particle under the influence of this force will have its force vector always directed towards that origin …
