I agree with Nadette, grenades are tricky at all but as far as you can heave them. And I never liked that you couldn’t answer from outside the box, either…
damn nadette you have to use the grenade why dont you just shove the grenade in the zombie mouth and kick them in to the zombie crowd, when its blows the shrapnel from the grenade and the bones with act as increased damage modifier
Um, this equation has the grenade thrown straight up. Might want to run like hell. (Just finished teaching projectile motion for the semester last week.)
I agree. Distance is assumed to be vertical given the way the equation is written. And solving for t as written above gives a mere 1.625 second flight time, so indeed, run like hell!
Correcting the first coefficient to the more correct -5 the maximum distance would be 24.4 meters with a 2.2 second flight time. The angle would be .8262 radians (47.3 degrees) up from the horzontal. Iamamathgeek but I prefer Nadette’s solution.
Ok, now thats how i would love the see the problems presented to me, i might actually be interested in solving them.
Of course, advanced math is something i never had at school couse of my learning disorder, but still, when stuff is showed like this one gets interested.
And like Nadette i would also go for the gun, or a sword, that works also.
Giving credit to Sali for attempting to find a way that appeals enough to Dette to want to learn math, but whoever wrote that question was a complete idiot
And screw ‘the maximized death radius’: you want to throw it to remove as many of the undead buggers as possible between you and them without getting yourself killed in the process, so toss it down in front of them, and leg it as fast as you can and find somewhere to duck behind when it goes off, hopefully enough of them will have passed the grenade to act as a buffer to the explosion
Assuming the grenade’s explosion to be spherical, to maximize the kill radius you’d want it off the ground, likely about 1m, to be at a height to inflict the most damage. Of course if you really want to make life interesting, throw it towards a gas main or something.
Still, A for effort in trying to make math interesting, D for failing to define important vectors.
That’s why the teachers would always insist on us showing the equation we used to get the answer.
The ^numerical^ answer to the problem was ^less^ important than the ^equation^ you used to ^get^ it🤓

Where are they that g = 5 m/s2 rather than Earth-standard 9.8 (round to 10) m/s2? Also “radius”.
Somewhere where they are having a zombie problem.
Doesn’t seem that strange to me…
Ah, the ‘Mad Max’ solution. 🙂

Most folks in this strip would consider a zombie apocalypse boring. Bud has already topped that by several orders of magnitude.
fricking hate these types of questions.its like a giant middle finger to your face.
How strong would Nadette have to be to fire that sawed-off shotgun with one hand?
As strong as a bear? o_O
😏·🤣·😏 ❗
You need to bear that in mind when you ask Nadette questions.
She’s a bear shifter so she may be strong as a grizzly.

HA! I was thinking the same thing. We can’t always assume a 45 degree angle.

That’s NOT a gun, silly girl; it’s a grenade launcher!
Actually, sawed-off shotgun.
I say shotgun.
No, you’re driving.

OMG! This is so me doing math word problems.
How do I need to know how fast the other plane is going? Why don’t they just take the bus or drive?

hunh, all the above and What I got most is: She’s undead enough that all the flesh has rotted off her arms, yet she still has an awesome rack…
Uhm… There is something disturbing about you actually noticing that…
Aaaand now I can’t unsee it!
….I never could solve word problems, I could never tell which numbers fit into which part of the equation when condensed into words not formulas…..

I don’t know but I think I’d try to build some type of rudimentary lathe.
…and don’t forget to tuck and roll when you’re running away.
