Solution:

we are given that

A whale dives at a speed of 3 feet per second.

we have been asked to find

What is the change in the position of the whale relative to where it started after 12 seconds?

we will apply the concept of distance traveled in a given time and given velocity , using the formula.

[tex]Distance=Speed \times Time[/tex]

Since whale dives at a speed of 3 feet per second, it mean that in 12 second , the whale will cover a distance of [tex]=3\times12=36[/tex] feet.

So change in the position , relative to the initial position, where it started after 12 seconds is 36 feet.

Answer: 36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A whale dives at a speed of 3 feet per second.

The formula we will use her is [tex]\text{Distance}=\text{Speed * Time}[/tex]

Then , the change in the position of the whale relative to where it started after 12 seconds will be :_

[tex]\text{Distance}=3\times12=36\text{ feet}[/tex]

Hence, the change in the position of the whale relative to where it started after 12 seconds is 36 feet.
