Form 7: Altitude and Elevation Changes

Explore elevation changes over time or distance. Calculate positive and negative rates of change for changing altitudes.

Questions

  1. MultiChoice

    A hiker's elevation graph shows height (ft) over time (min) passing through (0, 0) and (4, 2000). What is the rate of ascent?

  2. MultiChoice

    An airplane descends from 30,000 feet to 15,000 feet in 10 minutes. What is its rate of elevation change?

  3. MultiChoice

    What does a positive rate of change indicate on an altitude-time graph?

  4. MultiChoice

    What does a negative rate of change indicate on an altitude-time graph?

  5. MultiChoice

    A climber stays at a mountain camp at 5000 ft altitude for 3 hours. What is the slope of their altitude graph during this time?

  6. MultiChoice

    A graph passes through (2, 600) and (6, 1600) for altitude in meters over hours. Find the rate of climbing.

  7. MultiChoice
