A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5
1 answer:
Answer:
a.14 s
b.70 s
Explanation:
a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.
Speed of sidewalk relative to ground=
Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s
The speed of women relative to the ground
Distance=35 m
Time=
Using the formula
Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving=
b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)
Then, we take displacement negative.
Speed of sidewalk relative to ground=
Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s
The speed of women relative to the ground=
Time=
Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.

The energy stored by a system of capacitors is given by
where Ceq is the equivalent capacitance of the system, and V is the voltage applied.
In the formula, we can see there is a direct proportionality between U and C. This means that if we want to increase the energy stored by 4 times, we have to increase C by 4 times, if we keep the same voltage.
Calling
the capacitance of the original capacitor, we can solve the problem by asking that, adding a new capacitor with 
, the new equivalent capacitance of the system 
must be equal to 
. If we add the new capacitance X in parallel, the equivalent capacitance of the new system is the sum of the two capacitance
and since Ceq must be equal to 4 C1, we can write
from which we find
