( Will hand out brainiest) A California condor left its cliff-side nest and soared downwards at a rate of 16 meters per second. After 8 seconds, the bird soared upwards 71 meters to land on a ledge with an elevation of 1,364 meters. What is the elevation of the condor's nest?

First calculate the distance covered going down:

d_down = (16 m / s) * 8 s = 128 m

 

Then the distance going up is:

d_up = 71 m

 

So the distance from the ledge to the nest is:

d = 128 m – 71 m = 57 m

 

Therefore the elevation is:

elevation = 1364 m + 57 m = 1421 m
