L10 - Interactive 4: Example: Old Faithful
[This interactive has one page that will help you to use equations to give a prediction for a future event.]
On a visit to Yellowstone National Park you time the eruption of the Old Faithful Geyser. The geyser erupt for 3.7 minutes and the eruption ended at 3:14 PM.
Use the model we found in the online textbook to give a prediction for the time at time at which the geyser will erupt next.
Hint: Did you get 73.171 minutes for your prediction? This is the correct interval. The next eruption will be 73 minutes after 3:14 PM.
Answer: 4:27 PM
