A magnitude is how long this guy is and direction is at what angle it is.

大小是指它的长度,而方向是指它与坐标轴的夹角

We don't have data on individual city basis but it really looks like the housing collapse price collapse--that we're going through now is on a magnitude not paralleled since The Great Depression of the 1930s.

我们没有每一个城市的数据,但是看起来似乎房价真的崩塌了,价格崩塌-现在我们正经历着,自从三十年代大萧条以来,史无前例的衰退。

"The last major event on that fault occurred 250 years ago, so if the fault snaps, it's going to snap by 1.7 meters, and that's about a magnitude 7 earthquake."

But there's more, and this is why novels are long: - not too long, not too short, but of a certain length-- of a certain magnitude, as Aristotle puts it.

但是当然还有很多别的东西，要不这本书也不会那么长：,不是太长，但也不短，刚刚好能说明清楚问题的长度-,亚里士多德这么评价。

So this negative number has a bigger magnitude than this negative number.

所以这个负数的绝对值,比这个负数大。

So, what this means is that when we're looking at an actual wave function, we're treating it as a wave, right, so waves can have both magnitude, but they can also have a direction, so they can be either positive or negative.

这意味着,当我们看一个波函数时,我们把它看做一个波，波不仅有幅值，还有方向，所以它们可正可负，如果。

Why does Aristotle say, as Brooks quotes him, that a plot should have a certain magnitude?

为什么亚里士多德会说，“剧情尤为重要“呢？

That means the acceleration is pointing towards the center of the circle and it has a magnitude a.

也就是说加速度,始终指向圆心,其模长为 a

The fact that when you go in a circle, you accelerate is what we're learning here, coming from the fact that velocity is a vector and its change can be due to change in the magnitude or change in direction.

而当你做圆周运动时你也在加速,这是我们在这里所学到的,原因就在于,速度是一个矢量,其变化可以通过改变模长,或者方向来实现

take the derivative of this, get the velocity vector and you notice his magnitude is a constant Whichever way you do it, you can then rewrite this as v square over r.

对这个式子求一次导,就能得到速度矢量,你会发现其模长是常数,不管用什么方法,加速度也可以写成 v^2 / r
