question about "vertical" and "horizaontal"
the terms "vertical" and "horizontal" are frequently used in physics. give operational definitions for these two terms. an operational definition defines a term by how it is measured or determined. your definition should apply equally well in a laboratory orr on a stepp mountainside.
"vertical"- direction perpendicular to the plane on which an object is located
"horizaontal" - parallel to the plane on which an object is located
im not really sure if this is right
is there a better way to define them?
