Write two equivalent expressions that represents the situation. What is the difference in their Elevations? And airplane flies an altitude of 25,000 feet. A submarine a diverse to a depth of 600 feet below sea level.
Question
Answer:
Answer:Hₐ (airplane) = H₀ +25,000Hₐ (submarine) = H₀ -600Difference in elevation = 25,600 ftStep-by-step explanation:Let the reference point be Sea levelLet the Height at sea level = H₀Let the height above or below sea level = H₁Total Height with respect to sea level = HₐHₐ =H₀ ± H₁--------------------------------------------------------------------- (1)Where: (+) is used for height above sea level(-) is used for height below sea level For the airplane :Hₐ (airplane) =H₀ + H₁ = H₀ + 25,000----------------------------------------------------- (2)For the Submarine;Hₐ (submarine) =H₀ - H₁ =H₀ -600Summarily:Hₐ (airplane) = H₀ +25,000Hₐ (submarine) = H₀ -600H₀ is common in both expressions for the respective heights. The difference in elevation is given by :Hₐ (airplane) -Hₐ (submarine) = (H₀ +25,000 ) -(H₀ -600) = 25,600 ft
