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 descent in 10.1 seconds interpret the quote and it to describe the rate of change in the divers death give your answer to the nearest hundred.

Answer 1

The given scenario describes a scuba diver who was initially at a depth of 15 meters below the surface. The diver noticed something interesting about 10 meters lower and subsequently descended to that point. The descent took 10.1 seconds.

To interpret the "quote" and describe the rate of change in the diver's depth, we need to find the rate at which the diver's depth changed during the descent.

Rate of change can be calculated by dividing the change in the quantity by the time it takes for the change to occur. In this case, the change in the diver's depth is 10 meters (as she descended to a point 10 meters lower). The time taken for this change is 10.1 seconds.

Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's depth is:

Rate of change = Change in depth / Time taken
= 10 meters / 10.1 seconds

Calculating this, we find:

Rate of change ≈ 0.99 meters/second

Rounding to the nearest hundred, the rate of change in the diver's depth is approximately 1 meter/second.
