Thomas the giant gorilla climbed to the top of a building 650 feet tall. He broke loose a statue and threw it down with an initial velocity of 50 feet per second. How long will it take for the statue to hit the ground ?

13 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It goes down by 50. So it goes 650 600 550 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
