Shane's Textbook Question


Chapter 2.2 no. 22

An aircraft was flying at the altitude of 2950 m. It descended for 3 minutes at 2.5 m/s and then descended for 2.5 minutes at 2.8 m/s. What was the planes altitude after the descent.

The altitude of the plane is 2950 m.
It descended for 3 minutes at a rate of 2.5m/s
3 minutes = 180 secs at a rate of 2.5m/s
180 x 2.5 = 450 m

It then descended another 2.5 minutes for 2.8m/s
2.5 minutes = 150 secs at a rate of 2.8 m/s
150 x 2.8 = 420 m

 2950
-  450
420
2080 m
The plane's altitude after the descent is 2080 metres.

  1. Great job Shane. The post was easy to understand, but I felt that it could have been organized a bit better. I thought everything was crowded into paragraphs and you could have numbered things to know which part of the question we were on.
