Volcano Puu Puai in Hawaii was formed in 1959 when a massive “lava fountain” erupted. The lava shot from the ground with an initial velocity of 350 feet per second. a. For how long was the lava in the air until it returned to the ground?
b. What was the maximum height of the lava?
c. After how many seconds did the maximum height occur?

a)Tt = 21,41 s

b) y(max) = 1873 ft

c)  t = 10,70 s

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that this is a case of vertical shooting then:

a) Vf  = V₀  -  g*t

Vf = 0         -g*t = -V₀

t  =  V₀ /g         t  =  350 ft/s / 32,7 ft/s²

t  =  10,70 s     time for lava to reach y maximum

a) Then  Tt = 2*10,7     Tt = 21,41 s

Lava was in the air for  Tt = 21,41 s

b) y = y₀ + v₀*t - (1/2 )*g*t²

for y = ymax  we get:

y(max)  = 0 + 350*10,70 - 0,5* 32,7* ( 10,70)²

y(max)  =  3745  - 1872

y(max) = 1873 ft

c) t = 10,70 s

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

step-by-step explanation: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

so then what are you asking?
