A person is strolling along a moving walkway at a constant velocity of +1.00 m/s with respect to the walkway, which moves at a c
onstant velocity of +0.50 m/s with respect to the ground. an observer on the ground is walking at a constant velocity of -0.2 m/s. what is the velocity of the person on the walkway with respect to the observer on the ground?
1 answer:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The velocity of the person on the walkway relative to the ground is the velocity of the walkway (relative to the ground) plus the velocity of the person relative to the walkway.
It is
1.0 + 0.5 = 1.5 m/s
The person on the ground moves at - 0.2 m/s, which is in the opposite direction to that of the walkway and the person on the walkway.
Therefore the velocity of the person on the walkway relative to the person on the ground is
105 - (-0.2) = 1.7 m/s
Answer: 1.7 m/s
The velocity of the person on the walkway relative to the ground is the velocity of the walkway (relative to the ground) plus the velocity of the person relative to the walkway.

We have been given that a circle of a certain radius has an area which is numerically 5 times the value of the circumference. We are asked to find the radius of the circle.
We know that area of circle with a radius of r units is .
We know that circumference of a circle is .
5 times the value of circumference would be .
Now we will equate 5 times circumference with area as:
Let us solve for r.
Therefore, the radius of the circle would be 10 units.
The answer is 4x^12-24x^9+36x^6
