Gates (1968) stated that learning involves both acquisition (gaining new knowledge or skills) and retention (being able to keep and recall them). This definition highlights that mere exposure without retention does not constitute true learning.
Correct Answer: C — Gates (1968).
A stone falls freely from rest. The distance covered in the last second of motion equals the distance covered in the first 3 seconds. How long does the stone take to reach the ground?
Distance in first 3 s: $s_3 = \dfrac{1}{2}(10)(3)^2 = 45\text{ m}$
Distance in last 1 s of total time $T$ (using $s_n = u + \dfrac{a}{2}(2n-1)$ with $u=0$):
$s_{\text{last}} = \dfrac{g}{2}(2T-1) = 5(2T-1)$
Setting equal: $5(2T-1) = 45 \Rightarrow 2T-1 = 9 \Rightarrow T = \mathbf{5\text{ s}}$
How many values of $k$ allow the system of equations $(k+1)x + 8y = 4k$ and $kx + (k+3)y = 3k-1$ to have no solution?
For no solution, the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero but the system must be inconsistent.
$\Delta = (k+1)(k+3) - 8k = k^2+4k+3-8k = k^2-4k+3 = (k-1)(k-3) = 0$
So $k=1$ or $k=3$. Check each:
$k=1$: Equations become $2x+8y=4$ and $x+4y=2$ โ same line (infinite solutions). Not "no solution".
$k=3$: Equations become $4x+8y=12$ and $3x+6y=8$. Simplify: $x+2y=3$ and $x+2y=8/3$ โ contradiction! No solution.
So exactly $\mathbf{1}$ value of $k$ gives no solution.
