An airport has a moving walkway in a long corridor (of lengthL) designed to savepassengers time. If Tom walks through the corrid

or (not on the moving walkway), it takes him150 s to reach the far end. If Tom stands on the moving walkway, it takes him 100 s to reach thefar end. How long would it take Tom to reach the far end if he got on the moving walkway andwalked at his normal speed relative to the walkway itself?

Answer: 60 seconds

Explanation:

The following information can be derived from the question:

rt=d,

150r = 100

Divide through by 150

r = 100/150

r = 0.67

r = 0.67 feet/second

Fir the second part of the question,

100r=100

r = 100/100

r = 1

r= 1 feet/second

combined rate will now be:

= 0.67+1

= 1.67 feet/second

We then slot it back into the formula

rt = d

1.67t = 100

t = 100/1.67

t= 59.88 seconds

t = 60 seconds approximately

Using this formula Vj = V; + at, If a vehicle starts from rest
Furkat [3]

Answer:

<em>The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration</u>

When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+a.t

Where:

vf  = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a   = Constant acceleration

t   = Elapsed time

The vehicle starts from rest (vo=0) and accelerates at a=4.5 m/s2 for t=8 seconds. The final speed is:

v_f=0+4.5*8

v_f=36\ m/s

The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s

What is the mechanical energy of a 500kg rollercoaster car moving with a speed of 3m/s at the top hill that is 30m high
koban [17]

K.E = 1/2*m*v^2 = 1/2(500)(3)^2 = 2250 J

m*g*h = 500(9.8)(30) = 147000 J

2250 + 147000 = 149250
