In relativity theory, velocities can be represented by points in a certain "rapidity space" in which the distance between two neighboring points is ds = [2/(1 r2)]./dr2 r 2 d02, where r and 0 are polar coordinates, and we consider just a two-dimensional space. (An expression like this for the distance in a non-Euclidean space is often called the metric of the space). Use the EulerLagrange equation to show that the shortest distance from the origin to any other point is a straight line.

When applying kirchhoff's rules, one of the essential steps is to mark each resistor with plus and minus signs to label how the electric potential changes from one end of the resistor to the other. the circuit in the drawing contains four resistors, each marked with the associated plus and minus signs. however, one resistor is marked incorrectly. which one is it?

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?
