Question

While scuba diving, Alec is rising toward the surface of the water at 6.0 meters per minute. If his velocity remains constant, how much time will it take Alec to rise 8.4 meters?

Answer 1

Given data

*Alec is rising towards the surface of the water is u = 6.0 m/min

*The given distance is d = 8.4 m

The formula for the time taken by the Alec to rise is given as

`t=(d)/(u)`

Substitute the values in the above expression as

`\begin{gathered} t=(8.4)/(6.0) \\ =1.4\text{ minute} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the time is taken by Alec to rise is t = 1.4 minutes
