Answer:

-0.25 ; 120 seconds 72 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Dive rate is constant :

Change in elevation after 8 seconds :

18 feets to 20 feets below

Rate of change = distance / time

(18 - 20) feets / 8 seconds

(-2 / 8) = - 0.25 feets per second

To reach 50.feets :

She needs to cover (50 - 20) = 30 feets

Time = distance / speed ; 30 feets / 0.25 = 120 seconds
