Answer 1

To find the change in height, we need to consider the initial height from which Ping dove and the depth he reached in the water.

1. Initial height from the platform: 10 meters (above water)
2. Depth reached in the water: 6 meters (below water)

To find the change in height, we can calculate it as follows:

Change in height = Initial height - Depth reached Change in height = 10 meters - (-6 meters) [Note: going down into the water counts as negative] Change in height = 10 + 6 = 16 meters

So, the change in height is 16 meters.
