Question

A hot air balloon was flying at an altitude of 300 meters when the pilot decided to land by descending at a rate of 2 meters per second. For which of these functions does y represent the altitude of the hot air balloon if x represents the number of seconds since the pilot started her landing?

A

Answer 1

the descending took 150 seconds or 2 minutes and thirty seconds

Answer 2

150 s

Explanation:

Data:

The height of the balloon from the ground = 300 m

The velocity = 2 m/s

Therefore, the time for the balloon will be =
`(distance)/(time) \\ = (300)/(2)\\ = 150 s`
