Given :

A submarine started at the surface of the water and was moving at -15 meters per minute.

The submarine traveled at this rate for 48 minutes before coming to rest on the ocean floor.

To Find :

The change in the submarine position.

Solution :

We need to find the position of submarine position from the surface of water.

Distance travelled = Speed × Time

Distance travelled = -15 m/min × 48 min

Distance travelled = 720 m

Therefore, the position of submarine is 720 m below the surface of ocean.
