After diving 88m below sea level,a driver rises at a rate of 6 meters per minute for 7 min.Where is the diver in relation to the surface?
distance=rate*time= 6m/min*7min
Therfore is the answer 42 min
He's risen 42 feet.
How many feet is he from the surface?
To determine the diver's position in relation to the surface, we can use basic arithmetic calculations.
Given:
Initial depth = 88 meters below sea level
Rate of ascent = 6 meters per minute for 7 minutes
To find the diver's position, we need to calculate the net change in depth.
Net change in depth = (Rate of ascent) x (Time of ascent)
Net change in depth = 6 meters/minute x 7 minutes
Net change in depth = 42 meters
The positive value indicates that the diver is ascending towards the surface. Therefore, the diver is now 42 meters below sea level.
To find the actual depth from the surface, we subtract the depth below sea level from sea level.
Actual depth from the surface = Depth below sea level - Depth below sea level
Actual depth from the surface = 0 meters (Sea level) - 42 meters
Actual depth from the surface = -42 meters
Hence, the diver is currently 42 meters below sea level (or 42 meters above the surface).
