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.
