A scuba diver was at a depth of 15 m below the surface when she saw something interesting about 10 m lower. She made the dissent in 10.1 seconds interpret the coaching to describe the rate of change in the divers death give your answer to the nearest hundredth

To interpret the rate of change in the diver's depth, we can use the formula:

Rate of change = Change in depth / Change in time

In this case, the change in depth is 10 m (since the diver saw something interesting 10 m lower) and the change in time is 10.1 seconds (since she made the descent in 10.1 seconds).

Rate of change = 10 m / 10.1 s ≈ 0.99 m/s

Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's depth is approximately 0.99 m/s.
