I tried helping but I cant figure it out let me see..
Tan a = opposite side/adjacent side
tan 30 = 1050/ ?
1050/tan30=?
about 1818= ?
Answer:
D is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- 0.7 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Because we are talking about "elevation", we assume that going upwards will result in a positive elevation change and going downwards will result in a negative elevation change.
We also assume, since we are talking about free-diving, that he starts from the surface (i.e elevation 0 m) and he free dives to a distance of 42 meters downwards (i.e elevation of -42)
In our case, the change in elevation
= final elevation - intital elevation
= -42 - 0
= -42 m
time elapsed is given as 60 sec.
Hence rate of change of elevation
= change in elevation ÷ time elapsed
= -42 ÷60
= - 0.7 m/s
