Answer: Average change in sea lion's altitude per minute is 90.05 meters per minute.
Explanation:
Since we have given that
Height at which a sea lion dove from the water surface at sea level = (-)216.12 meters
We'll neglect the negative sign while finding the value of average rate of change.
Time taken to reach the above altitude = 2.4 minutes
So, Average change in the sea lions altitude per minute is given by
[tex]\frac{216.12}{2.4}=90.05\text{ meters per minute}[/tex]
Hence, average change in sea lion's altitude per minute is 90.05 meters per minute.
