a diver dives to 84m. If the diver rises 5 meters per min for 10 min. Where is the diver in relation to the surface.
The answer would be 34 meters right?
Figure out how much he rises in 10 minutes. Is he still below the surface? By how much?
To find the diver's position in relation to the surface, we need to consider the initial depth and the change in depth due to rising.
The diver starts at a depth of 84 meters. Over 10 minutes, the diver rises at a rate of 5 meters per minute. So, the total distance the diver has risen at the end of 10 minutes is 10 minutes multiplied by 5 meters per minute, which equals 50 meters.
To determine the position in relation to the surface, we subtract the distance the diver has risen from the initial depth. In this case, it would be 84 meters minus 50 meters, which equals 34 meters.
Therefore, you are correct. The diver's position in relation to the surface after 10 minutes is 34 meters.
