The Physics in Carrie

You know how in the movie Carrie, they pour paint on her when she gets on stage to recieve her crown? Well how do they time this correctly? I guess they had to use physics to find out how long it would take the paint to hit the girl. Mind you that the original movie was way better than the most recent remake...but we'll ignore that for now!

So anyway, let's say that Carrie was 4 meters below the rig above the stage, all they would have to do is solve for the time to see how long it would take the paint to drop on her. By using a form of the kinematics equation d=(vi)(t)+1/2(a)(t)^2, you can solve for the time by plugging in your units. You end up with a time of .9 seconds. It would only take the paint .9 seconds to hit Carrie and emabrass her in front of everyone in her school.
