A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s

. (a) If the passenger stands on the sidewalk without walking, how long does it take her to travel the length of the sidewalk? (b) If she walks at her normal walking speed on the sidewalk, how long does it take to travel the full length? (c) When she reaches the end of the sidewalk, she suddenly realizes that she left a package at the opposite end. She walks rapidly back along the sidewalk at double her normal walking speed to retrieve the package. How long does it take her to reach the package?

Answer:

a) t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) t = 54 s

c) t = 49 s

Explanation:

a) The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line at constan speed is:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, the origin of our reference system is at the begining of the sidewalk.

a) To calculate the time the passenger travels on the sidewalk without wlaking, we can use the equation for the position, using as speed the speed of the sidewalk:

x = x0 + v * t

95 m = 0m + 0. 53 m/s * t

t = 95 m/ 0.53 m/s

t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) Now, the speed of the passenger will be her walking speed plus the speed of th sidewalk (0.53 m/s + 1.24 m/s = 1.77 m/s)

t = 95 m/ 1.77 m/s = 54 s

c) In this case, the passenger is located 95 m from the begining of the sidewalk, then, x0 = 95 m and the final position will be x = 0. She walks in an opposite direction to the movement of the sidewalk, towards the origin of the system of reference ( the begining of the sidewalk). Then, her speed will be negative ( v = 0.53 m/s - 2*(1.24 m/s) = -1.95 m/s. Then:

0 m = 95 m -1.95 m/s * t

t = -95 m / -1.95 m/s = 49 s

The displacement volume of an automobile engine is 167 in3. what is the displacement volume in liters?
forsale [732]

The displacement volume in liters is 2.74 liters.

<h3>What is displacement volume?</h3>

Displacement volume is the quantity of solvent that will be displaced by a specified quantity of a solid during dissolution.

It can also be defined as the volume displaced by the piston as it moves between top dead center and bottom dead center in a car engine.

<h3>Displacement volume in liters</h3>

1 liter = 61.02 in³

? = 167 in³

= 167/61.02

= 2.74 liters

Thus, the displacement volume in liters is 2.74 liters.
