A parachutist's elevation changes by - 100 ft in 10 seconds. What is the change in the parachutist's elevation each second?
Her elevation changes feet each second.
The change in the parachutist's elevation each second can be found by dividing the total change in elevation by the time taken.
Total change in elevation = -100 ft
Time taken = 10 seconds
Change in elevation per second = (-100 ft) / (10 seconds) = -10 ft/second
Therefore, the parachutist's elevation changes by -10 ft each second.
To find the change in elevation each second, we need to divide the total change in elevation by the total time it took for the change to occur.
Given that the elevation changes by -100 ft in 10 seconds, we can calculate the change in elevation each second by dividing the total change (-100 ft) by the total time (10 seconds):
Change in elevation each second = Total change in elevation / Total time
Change in elevation each second = -100 ft / 10 seconds
Change in elevation each second = -10 ft
Therefore, the parachutist's elevation changes by -10 ft each second.
To find the change in the parachutist's elevation per second, we need to calculate the rate of change of elevation.
Rate of change of elevation = Change in elevation / Change in time
Given:
Change in elevation = -100 ft
Change in time = 10 seconds
Substituting these values into the formula:
Rate of change of elevation = -100 ft / 10 seconds
Rate of change of elevation = -10 ft/second
Therefore, the parachutist's elevation changes by -10 ft each second.
