A little present for seriously bored people

[KillerMuffin]

1) A ball is thrown vertically upward from a height of 6 ft with an initial velocity of 60 feet per second. How high will the ball go?


2) A farmer plans to fence a rectangular pasture adjacent to a river. The pasture must contain 180,000 square meters in order to provide enough grass for his herd. What dimensions would require the least amoung of fencing if no fencing is needed along the river?

3) A ladder that's 25 feet long is leaning aginst the wall of a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at a rate of 2 feet per second. How fast is the top moving down the wall when the base of the ladder is 7 feet away from the wall? 15 feet? 24 feet? If the ladder is being pulled from the wall at a constant speed, why is the top of ladder not moving at a constant speed?



FYI, I did these already so thpthpthptph.

 

[Wiggles]

I'm not that bored.

 

[Rhys]

oh man...I must be bored. I hate math and I was trying to solve these.

I knew there was a reason I was a letters major.

 

[peachykeen]

nope. not with this hangover head. sorry.

Has anyone told you that you have a sick mind?

Wanna flick little triangle shaped pieces of paper off of each others foreheads?

 

[Freya]

Sheesh KM, it's Sunday. People aren't supposed to think on Sundays - I think they made that a law somewhere.

 

[ridddder]

Fuck that, I'd rather sort socks..... and I am way not that bored yet.

Sounds good...I was always better at origami anyway...

If a sock is thrown into the washer on spin cycle, (spin cycle being 100 revolutions per minute) with Tide detergent, said detergent having a bubble coefficient of 36 bubbles per square litre of oxygenation, and the amount of said detergent used is half a cup, what is the probabillity of said sock (1) losing dye and bleeding on the towels also in the spin cycle (said towels having the maximum sponge effect of .7 on the soggy towel scale) and (2) that said sock will teleport itself out of the spin cycle, and into the dryer Hose zone, therefore rendering it unsortable?

 

[Freya]

You have a 13.492 percent chance of said sock being sucked into the wastelands of Lost Sock Land.

Let:

S=sock
R= spin cycle revolutions
bce=bubble coefficient
1/2 of anything is still 1/2
P=probability
st=soggy towel
**!**=teleportation

Maybe...but the improbability of such is more likely...

that and I have a bable fish stuck in my ear.

 

[islandman]

If someone solves KM's riddles, I'd be interested in knowing how.

* = Lie, plz do my physics and (cal or pre-cal, I can't remember) homework plz. KTHXBYE

Fixed it for you

 

[Rhys]

V=velocity
B=magnetic field of the dryer


hmmm....

now do you see why my Physics professor hated me?

 

[Rhys]

so the answer is, naturally 42.

 

[curious2c]

ok...for a dumb ass I think I got the first and third ones. the farmer is going to have to wait until tomorrow for the fence since I have come up with three possible answers now. I am too tired to play tonight anymore.

 

[phrodeau]

The second one actually requires the simplest math of the three problems.

The other two don't really provide enough info for a precise answer. Are the objects moving in a vacuum, and if so, are we still on Earth?
