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 law is P = nRT/ V where R is the gas constant. An engineer must design a large natural gas storage tank to be expandable to maintain the pressure constant at 2.2 atm. In December when the temperature is 4°F (- 15°C), the volume of gas in the tank is 28 500 ft3 . What will the volume of the same quantity of gas be in July when the temperature is 88°F (31°C)?
