orthogonally
Aussprache: [ɔrˈθɒɡənəli]
Wort
Kontext: „mathematics“
(adverb) in a way that is at right angles to something else. Imagine drawing lines that do not touch each other and meet at a square corner; that’s orthogonal. It's like how the walls of a room meet the floor.
Beispiel
The two lines on the graph intersect orthogonally, creating a perfect right angle.
Beispiel
The lines in this drawing do not meet orthogonally; they form an angle that is too sharp.
Beispiel
Can you show me where the lines cross orthogonally?
Kontext: „physics“
(adverb) in a way that does not affect each other. This means that when one thing changes, the other one doesn’t change at all. Think of two friends playing different games; what one friend does doesn't change the game the other is playing.
Beispiel
The forces acted orthogonally, so they did not interfere with each other’s impacts.
Beispiel
The events were not orthogonal; they caused each other to change significantly.
Beispiel
How can we ensure the forces act orthogonally?
