A diver is 3.5 \text{ m} below the surface of the water. He descends 1.47 \text{ m/s} for 3 seconds, then rises 0.46 \text{ m/s} for 6 seconds. Note that surface level is 0 \text{ m}, and 1 \text{ m} below is represented by - 1 \text{ m}.
Find the depth of the diver after 9 seconds.
The diver is running out of oxygen and needs to get to a depth of 0.35 \text{ m} below the surface within 4 seconds. How many metres does he need to rise each second, assuming he will rise at a constant speed?
Debbie is considering installing solar panels for her home. In direct sunlight, the solar panels generate 8.71 \text{ kWh} of electricity each hour, and on average her house gets 7 hours of sunlight a day. Any unused power is returned to the main grid and you receive \\33 cents per kWh.
Over a 24-hour period, a household's usage averages out to 1.87 \text{ kWh} each hour. How much will you expect to make each day by selling back electricity if you install the solar panels?
