Stupid question. It does not even take into account aerodynamic drag on the watermelon.

Does anybody seriously think Condoleeza Rice could throw a watermelon 20 feet in the air?

I prefer....

Ahmed holds a freshly cut human head just over the edge of the roof of a 300-foot minaret, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the head above the ground t seconds later is given by formula h= -16t2 + 20t + 300

(Please use arabic numbers only in your solution)

More proof that for liberals, racism is OK -- as long as it's against a black who is conservative.

a. How many seconds will it pass her (she's standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down? b. When will the watermelon hit ground?

First of all, the parenthetical exposition goes with question b not question a. To put it with part a is outright misleading.

Second of all, the author is a $#%^# racist.

Thank you.

So the left did something blatantly racist. So tell me what else is neew. I thought everybody knew that liberalism and racism go hand in hand, that racism is endemic to the mental illness known as liberalism.

"how many seconds will it pass her"
This sentence shows that the author has no idea of how to express itself in English.
However, given the likelyhood that the author is also a member of ....
oh never mind.

1. Why are college students taking a math or physics class where the calculation is given? This is algebra II material! 2. This is a calculus related question in the real world.
I took calculus before college. Why aren't the students taking Algebra I, II, and Precalc in high school?
3. The equation should be in meters. 9 meters is not 20 feet.

Quite honestly, I never would have known that the association with watermelons was considered racist. When I was a kid, my grandfather would always go to the produce market in Manhattan and buy us all a watermelon in the summer. We had watermelon every chance we got -- and we're Greek. I thought everyone like watermelons -- or were we the only weird ones in New York?

The racial slur was obviously intentional and very, very stupid. This should be broadcast everywhere. Why let these people off the hook? Because their cutesy little leftists?

This is obviously another stupid example designed by a very stupid and naive person.

Sounds like this liberal slime hole. 2 years more and we will be gone. My wife retires and we are gone, gone, gone. I will get to the Idaho-WA state line, get out and pee on WA state as I leave (sorry ladies). That will be my response to having to live with this garbage for 16 years. Wyoming here we come. Cannot wait. Liberals at work.

Why didn't they use an example like this:

If Teddy poured two liters of vodka down his own throat, and another liter down the throat of an unsuspecting young girl, then drove 30 miles per hour off a bridge into a canal which was flowing south at at 3 knots. Solve the following two part question:

A. How long after he saved himself would the girl finally lose consciousness and die?

B. How long after he contacted the family attorney would he notify the authorities of his "accident"?
