Question

A submarine starts at the surface of the water and then travels 95 meters below sea level in 19 seconds. If the submarine traveled an equal distance each second, what integer gives the distance traveled each second? a. –1805 c. –5 b. 1805 d. 5

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

Given that:

Total distance traveled from surface of water = 95 meters

Total travel time = 19 seconds

If equal distance Is traveled per second :

Distance traveled per second :

Total distance covered / total time taken

95 meters / 19 seconds

= 4.842 meters / second

Since it travels below sea level ( negative).

Hence distance traveled per second to the nearest integer = - 5 m/s
