The height of lava fountains spewed from volcanoes cannot be measured directly. Instead, their height in meters can be found usi

ng the equation y=1/2 gt^2
where y represents the height, g is 9.8, and t represents the falling time of the lava rocks. Find the height in meters of a lava rock that falls for 5 seconds.

The height in meters of a lava rock that falls for 5 seconds is; 122.5 m.

<h3>How to calculate height from quadratic equations?</h3>

We are told that the height is modelled by the equation;

y = ¹/₂gt²

where;

y represents the height.

g is 9.8 m/s²

t represents the falling time of the lava rocks.

Thus, at t = 5, we have;

y(5) = ¹/₂(9.8)(5)²

y(5) = 122.5 m

Mnenie [13.5K]
Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3

3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3

You are driving home on a weekend from school at 55 mi/h for 110 miles. it then starts to snow and you slow to 35 mi/h. you arri
stepladder [879]

Okay lets get started.

I drove 110 miles with speed of 55 mi/hr so the time taken =

time = distance / speed

time = 110 / 55 = 2 hrs For the distance which is covered with 55 mi/hr speed.

Total time for reaching home is 4 hrs 15 minutes. (given in question)

Means rest distance after snow is covered in = 4 hrs 15 minutes - 2 hrs

= 2 hrs 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hrs

The speed in snow driving is 35 mi/hr

So distance covered in snow driving is = 2.25 * 35 = 78.75 miles

Hence the total distance = 110 + 78.75 = 188.75 miles : Answer

Hope that will help :)

PLEASE HELP ASAP ILL GIVE BRAINLY!!!variables &amp; Constants
jolli1 [7]
Independent variables (IV): These are the factors or conditions that you manipulate in an experiment.

Dependent variable It is something that depends on other factors

A constant is a value or number that never changes in expression; it's constantly the same.

A control group in a scientific experiment is a group separated from the rest of the experiment, where the independent variable being tested cannot influence the results.

I hope I was helpful

23. it increased by 12 because the difference between -4 and 8 is 12
24. 25 because 40 minus 15 is 25
26. 5 because 156 minus 96 equals 60 and 60 divided by 12 equals 5
