Chapter 1, Problem 63GP

Weddell seals foraging in open water dive toward the ocean bottom by swimming forward in a straight-line path tipped below the horizontal. The tracking data for one seal showed it taking 4.0 min to descend 360 m below the surface while moving 920 m horizontally.

  1. a. What was the angle of the seal's path below the horizontal?
  2. b. What distance did the seal cover in making this dive?
  3. c. What was the seal's speed, in m/s?
