Growth rate of bamboo Bamboo belongs to the grass family andis one of the fastest growing plants in the world.a. A bamboo shoot was 500 cm tall at 10:00 A.M. and 515 cm tallat 3:00 P.M. Compute the average growth rate of the bambooshoot in cm/hr over the period of time from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.b. Based on the Mean Value Theorem, what can you concludeabout the instantaneous growth rate of bamboo measured inmillimeters per second between 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M.?
An automobile tire is shown in the figure below. The tire is made of rubber with a uniform density of 1.10 x 103 kg/m3. The tire can be modeled as consisting of two flat sidewalls and a tread region. Each of
sidewalls has an inner radius of 16.5 cm and an outer radius of 30.5 cm as shown, and a uniform thickness of 0.620 cm. The tread region can be approximated as having a uniform thickness of 2.50 cm (tha
inner radius is 30.5 cm and outer radius is 33.0 cm as shown) and a width of 19.6 cm. What is the moment of inertia (in kg · m2) of the tire about an axis perpendicular to the page through its center?

Jenny wanted to plant sunflowers, but wasn't sure of the best place to plant them on her property - so she decided to investigate! Jenny planted 6 sunflowers where they would get sun all day, 6 where they would get some sun and some shade, and 6 where they would be in total shade all day. Jenny watered all of the sunflowers at the same time of day with the same amount of water. After 3 months Jenny measured how tall the sunflowers in each location were.
What is the dependent variable?
Question 20 options:
Jenny
Amount of water
Sunflower growth
