Question

you are at an elevation 380 m above sea level as you start a motor ride .During the ride your elevation changes by the following metres:540m,-268m,116m,-152,490,-844m,94m.what is your elevation relativeto the sea level at the end of the ride?​

Answer 1

Answer:Total depth of elevation= 380m

now, during the ride, elevation changes by the following meters 540m, -286m, 116m, -152m, 490m, -844m, 94m.

therefore,

Elevation relative to the sea level at the end of the ride = 380+[540+(-286)+116+(-152)+490+(-844)+94]=338m

Answer 2

As per the given information, initial position of motor was 380 m. During the ride, changes in elevation was 540 m, -268m, 116m, -152 m, 490 m, -844m and 94m.

Net change in position = 540 + (-268) +(116) + (-152) + (490) + (-844) +94 = -24m.

Initial position was 380m. So at the end of the ride the position would be = 380 +(-24) = 356 m
