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

Explain how to find the angle between two nonzero vectors. Choose the correct answer below. A. The angle between two nonzero vec
kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ = Cos⁻¹[A.B/|A||B|]

A. The angle between two nonzero vectors can be found by first dividing the dot product of the two vectors by the product of the two vectors' magnitudes. Then taking the inverse cosine of the result

Explanation:

We can use the formula of the dot product, in order to find the angle between two non-zero vectors. The formula of dot product between two non-zero vectors is written a follows:

A.B = |A||B| Cosθ

where,

A = 1st Non-Zero Vector

B = 2nd Non-Zero Vector

|A| = Magnitude of Vector A

|B| = Magnitude of Vector B

θ = Angle between vector A and B

Therefore,

Cos θ = A.B/|A||B|

<u>θ = Cos⁻¹[A.B/|A||B|]</u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>A. The angle between two nonzero vectors can be found by first dividing the dot product of the two vectors by the product of the two vectors' magnitudes. Then taking the inverse cosine of the result</u>

A dog is walking at 2m/s and then begins to run at a speed of 6m/s. What is his acceleration if his total travel time is 2 secon
fiasKO [112]
The formula for velocity vf = vi + at

First list your given information

2m/s Is your initial velocity (vi)
6m/s is you final velocity (vf)
2 seconds is your time (t)

Since you want the a for acceleration get a by itself

a = (vf-vi)/t

So a= (6-2)/2

a= 4/2

a=2

Now units

the units for acceleration are m/sx^{2}

2m/sx^{2}

A student observes rock layers that are folded and appear to be scratched. Select all of the geologic forces that might have cau
mrs_skeptik [129]

Rock layers are folded and appear to be scratched because of the plate tectonics and the glacial advance.

Answer: Option 1 and 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plate tectonics and the glacial advance are the geological phenomenon which have the power to effect the layers of the rock. Because of these, there can be scratches on the layers of the rock and the layers of the rocks can be folded.

The huge mass of ice that is included in the glacier which may be of thickness of three to four kilometers is a lot to scratch the rocks. These glaciers are responsible for moving the rocks from their original position to a new place altogether.

Sarah weighs 500 newtons. She climbs a set of stairs 6 meters high. How much work does she do? 83 J Work equals force times dist
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

<em>Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By A Force

When some force \vec F is applied and a displacement \vec r is achieved, the work done by the force is given by

W=\vec F \cdot \vec r

Note that the work is a scalar magnitude as the result of the dot-product of two vectors. If the force and the displacement are parallel, then the vectors can be replaced as its magnitudes F,x and the work is

W=F.x

The dot product becomes a simple arithmetic product, i.e force times distance.

Sara weighs 500 Nw and she climbs up a 6 meter set of stairs. She needs to lift her weight up, so the force is the weight and the distance is the height of the stairs, thus

W=500\ Nw.\ 6\ m=3,000\ Joule

Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J
