We accidentally drop a tomato from the balcony of a high-rise apartment building. As it falls, the tomato has time to ponder some physics and says. “You know, the distance I have fallen equals one-half gravity times the time I have fallen squared.” Create a worksheet to solve the question of when the tomato goes splat.
- The user will input the initial balcony height in units of feet. Use data validation to set a limit for the height of 200 feet.
- Place the acceleration due to gravity in a cell under the balcony height and not within the formulas themselves. Be sure to watch the units for this problem!
- Column A will be the distance the tomato falls, starting at a distance of zero up to a distance of 200 feet, in 5-foot increments.
- Column B will show the calculated time elapsed at each distance fallen.
- Column C will display the status of the tomato as it falls.
- If the tomato is still falling, the cell should display the distance the tomato still has to fall.
- If the tomato hits the ground, the cell should display “SPLAT” on a red background.
- SPLAT should appear once; the cells below are blank.
Test your worksheet using the following conditions:
- I. At a balcony height of 200 feet, the tomato should splat at a time of 3.52 seconds.
- II. At a balcony height of 50 feet, the tomato should splat at a time of 1.76 seconds.

The volume of liquid it can hold can be computed as V = nh?(3R=h) %3D where V = volume [m³], h = depth of water in tank [m], and R = the tank radius [m]. Use Newton Raphson method with 1 iterations to find the relative percentage error in height calculation (e = 100|(hi+1 – hi)/h;) for storing 20 m³ of water with 10 m diameter-tank.

- I need help with this question. :)arrow_forwardI need help pleasearrow_forwardAs we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm. Vary the air speed in the range of 15 m/sarrow_forwardplease show work answer is Darrow_forwardPlease help Matlabarrow_forward2. There were 42 mangoes in each crate. 12 such crates of mangoes were delivered to a factory. 4 mangoes were rotten and had to be thrown away. The remaining mangoes were packed into boxes of 10 mangoes each. Write a numerical expression in MATLAB syntax to represent this situation and then find how many boxes of mangoes were there?
