Question

Twenty seconds after a plane in the air show- dives, it is 300 feet from where it begin. At what rate is the plane diving ​

Answer 1

15 feets per second

Explanation:

Given that:

Distance traveled by plane = 300 feets

Time taken by plane to travel such distance = 20 seconds

Rate at which the plane is diving is obtained thus :

Distance / time

= 300 feets / 20 seconds

= 15 feets / second

Hence, the plane is diving at a rate of 15 feets per second.
