A plane is flying at 31,348 feet. It needs to rise to 36,000 feet in two stages.

In stage 1, it rises 5% of its initial altitude of 31,348 feet.

In stage 2, it rises at a rate of 140.3 feet per minute.
How many minutes does it take for the plane to rise during stage 2?

well, 5% of 31348 is 1567.4

That leaves her 3084.6 feet to go.

And as you know, time = distance/speed

To find the number of minutes it takes for the plane to rise during stage 2, we need to divide the total altitude it needs to rise in stage 2 by the rate at which it rises per minute.

First, let's calculate the total altitude the plane needs to rise in stage 2. We know that the initial altitude is 31,348 feet and it needs to rise to 36,000 feet. So, the total altitude it needs to rise in stage 2 is 36,000 feet - 31,348 feet = 4,652 feet.

Next, let's divide the total altitude (4,652 feet) by the rate of rise per minute (140.3 feet/minute):

4,652 feet / 140.3 feet/minute = 33.11 minutes.

Therefore, it takes approximately 33.11 minutes for the plane to rise during stage 2.
