after diving 90 m below the sea level a diver rises at a rate of 3 meters per minute for 8 min. where is the diver in relation to the surface?
d=r*t
90=24
30/8
draw a picture. YOu start out at -90m, and then went 24meters up. How deep are you now?
Right. You're 66 meters below the surface.
To determine the diver's position in relation to the surface after rising for 8 minutes at a rate of 3 meters per minute, we can use the formula:
d = r*t
where:
d is the distance covered (in this case, the difference in depth between the starting and ending positions),
r is the rate of ascent (which is 3 meters per minute), and
t is the time in minutes (in this case, 8 minutes).
We know that the initial depth of the diver is 90 meters below the surface, and the diver rises for 8 minutes at a rate of 3 meters per minute.
Therefore, using the formula:
d = r*t,
d = 3 * 8,
d = 24 meters
The diver will be 24 meters below the surface after rising for 8 minutes.
