Helen asks…
Right direction or wrong direction?
Is this administration headed in the right or wrong direction? And why?
Nagesh answers:
Not to be overly philosophical…
But functional entities (people, businesses, governments, etc.) don’t live their lives as adjustable vectors with a temporarily defined and steerable “direction”.
We all go through our daily challenges and do what we think is best given the situations we’re faced with. Who among us got up this morning and checked their heading to make sure they were “headed in the right direction”?
I submit that all entities (people and institutions) have a basic set of underlying beliefs, core values if you will, that predisposes us to act and do what we do. We don’t take a reading of today’s wind direction and make course corrections. For the most part, we stay the course.
If you’re a politician who reads the mood swings of the voters before knowing what you believe, you’ll have a hard time convincing the majority that you stand for anything.
The Democrats treatment of Joe Lieberman is reprehensible. I guess he just couldn’t bring himself to say “I voted for the war…before I voted against it”.

Direction of a Vector Product?
Here’s the question:
http://postimage.org/image/i0ic8gcll/
How would I go about finding the ‘direction of a vector product’?
The answers to it are mult choice, they’re:
– Z direction
+ Z direction
199 degrees from + x axis
161 degrees from + x axis
Thank you for your time.
Nagesh answers:
(i) is the x unit vector
(j) is the y unit vector
A we can say is: -8.00(j)
The angle of D with respect to the x axis is 143 degrees
D we can say is: =10.0*cos(143)(i)+10.0*sin(143)(j)
=-8.0(i)+6.0(j)
we take the determinant of the two vectors
| i j k |
A x D= | 0 -8 0 |= -64(k)
| -8 6 0 |
So the resulting vector wouldn’t go in the x direction or y direction it would go in the – z direction since the vector that we got is a (k) vector and it is negative
Robert asks…
Direction of nystagmus?
Can anyone explain if the direction of a nystagmus is defined by which direction the slow phase or fast phase is in?
Nagesh answers:
Two major groups are recognized: jerk nystagmus, with oscillations that are faster in one direction than in the other, creating a jerky rhythm; and pendular nystagmus, with oscillations that are roughly equal in speed to either side.
Jerk nystagmus is named according to the direction of the fast phase, although the slower, return movement that regains and holds ocular fixation is more important functionally. Such movements are easily seen in someone looking out of a moving train who is trying to count the railway sleepers in the adjacent track. The fast phase is in the direction of travel of the train. Such opto-kinetic nystagmus (OKN) can be demonstrated by rotating a cylindrical drum painted with black vertical stripes in front of the subject: the eyes will move in the direction of drum rotation, followed by a quick return to fixate on the next moving stripe. At right angles to each other in either side of the skull.
