Your question:To estimate how long a thunderstorm will last, meteorologist can use the formula: t= square root of d^3 over the square root of 216, where t is the time in hours and d is the diameter of the storm in miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1) A thunderstorm is 8 miles in diameter. Estimate how long the storm will last. Give your answer in simplified form and as a decimal(book asked this, not me) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2)Will a thunderstorm twice this diameter last twice as long?Explain
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "t=((d^3)/216)^(1/2)
\n" ); document.write( "t=(512/216)^(1/2)
\n" ); document.write( "t=((8)(3)^(1/2))/9
\n" ); document.write( "t is about 1.539600718 hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I don't believe the storm will be twice as long because the number multiplied by itself three times will give a much, much higher number than what was your original diameter.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
