Given:
Depth = 3000 feet
Time = 2 minutes
First, we need to convert the depth to feet per second.
Depth in feet per minute = Depth (feet) / Time (minutes)
= 3000 feet / 2 minutes
= 1500 feet per minute
Now, we convert feet per minute to yards per second:
Depth in yards per second = Depth (feet per minute) / 3
= 1500 feet per minute / 3
= 500 yards per second
Therefore, the bottlenose dolphin can dive at a speed of 500 yards per second.
