Well, as I was driving to Wal-mart tonight, I began to think about a particular problem and realized I did it incorrectly. It was an Atwood Machine question. In writing out Newton's Laws, in a split-second decision, I didn't add the other mass when figuring out the acceleration of the system...

I'm in University Physics I - Mechanics and Heat. The exam had six problems, and I made stupid, careless mistakes on 3 and ended up with an 85. I should have had an A.

[SOLVED] Help on an AP exam problem I teach AP physics in high school and encountered this problem, from the 1982 AP Physics C exam. http://keydetpiper.com/Misc/1982C.html" has a link to the original problem (#2) and the official solution. My question is regarding part c: how is it possible...

Ok, here we go. The question asks, for matrix A = 1 1 3 3 0 1 2 2 6 , find a vector b such that Ax(x is a vector) = b has no solution. I found the rref(a) = 1 0 1/3 0 1 8/3 0 0 0 Now to, answer the question, I gues the equation has no solution if one of the rows...
