After diving 97 m below the sea level, a diver rises at a rate of 3 meters per minute for 7 min. Where is the diver in relation to the surface?
well, he rose 3*7 = 21m
where does that leave him?
76 ?
correct
That's 76m down, or at a level of -76m
Yay! Thank you so much :)
To determine where the diver is in relation to the surface, we need to calculate the total change in depth.
The initial depth is 97 meters below sea level, and the diver rises at a rate of 3 meters per minute for 7 minutes.
To find the total change in depth, we multiply the rate of ascent (3 m/min) by the duration of ascent (7 min):
3 m/min * 7 min = 21 meters
Therefore, the diver has risen 21 meters.
To determine the final depth, we subtract the change in depth from the initial depth:
97 meters - 21 meters = 76 meters
The diver is now at a depth of 76 meters below sea level in relation to the surface.
