An escalator is 18.3 m long. If a person stands on the escalator, it takes 47.8 s to ride from the bottom to the top. If a perso
1 answer:
Answer:
20.243 s
Explanation:
Because the escalator and person moving in the same direction, relative velocity can be calculated by summing the velocity of the escalator and velocity of the person.
The speed of escalator can be calculated as,
Relative velocity
Therefore total time required to take the person to get to the top

Answer:
D/H =15
Explanation:
- We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
- At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:
- If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:
- We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:
- In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
- When we replace these values in (1), we find that v₁ = -v₀.
- Replacing in (3), we have:
- Solving for D:
- From (2) we know that H can be expressed as follows:
- ⇒ D = 15 * H
