A scuba diver was at a depth of 15 meters below the surface when she saw something interesting about 10 meters lower so she made the descent in 10.1 seconds interpet the quotient to describe the rate of change in the diver depth give answer to nearest hundredth
To find the rate of change in the diver's depth, we need to divide the change in depth by the time it took to make that descent.
The change in depth is given as 10 meters lower, so the change in depth is -10 meters (negative because the diver went lower).
The time it took to make the descent is given as 10.1 seconds.
To find the rate of change, we divide the change in depth (-10 meters) by the time (10.1 seconds):
Rate of change = Change in depth / Time
Rate of change = -10 meters / 10.1 seconds
Rate of change ≈ -0.99 meters/second
Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's depth is approximately -0.99 meters/second.
To find the rate of change in the diver's depth, we can divide the change in depth by the time it took to make the descent.
Change in depth = 10 meters
Time taken = 10.1 seconds
Rate of change in depth = Change in depth / Time taken
Rate of change in depth = 10 meters / 10.1 seconds
Now let's calculate the quotient to the nearest hundredth:
Rate of change in depth = 0.99 meters per second
Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's depth is approximately 0.99 meters per second.
To determine the rate of change in the scuba diver's depth, divide the change in depth by the time it took to make the descent.
Change in depth = Depth of the interesting object - Initial depth
= (15 meters + 10 meters) - 15 meters
= 10 meters
Time taken = 10.1 seconds
Rate of change = Change in depth / Time taken
= 10 meters / 10.1 seconds
Calculating the quotient:
Rate of change = 0.9901 meters/second
Rounding to the nearest hundredth:
Rate of change ≈ 0.99 meters/second
Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's depth is approximately 0.99 meters/second.
