The submarine descends 50 meters every 3 minutes. To reach a depth of 1,000 meters, the submarine needs to descend 500 meters more than its initial depth.
Since the submarine starts at a depth of 500 meters, it descends 50 meters every 3 minutes for 500 meters, which is a total of 10 intervals of 3 minutes.
Therefore, the submarine descends a total distance of 10 * 50 = 500 meters.
So, the submarine descends 500 meters.
A submarine is diving at a depth of 500 meters. Every 3 minutes, it descends another 50 meters. It then reaches a depth of 1,000 meters.
