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

Sound wave cannot propagate through vacuum.Why?<br>Plz give reason in short....​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a perfect vacuum existed in any volume, then no sound would be able to propagate through it, because a sound wave is a pressure wave, and there would be identically zero pressure. Of course, we could get into speculations about “dark energy” or “vacuum energy” supporting pressure waves, but let’s not go there.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

3141N or 3.1 ×10³N to 2 significant figures. The can experiences this inward force on its outer surface.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface of the can. In order to calculate this inward force we need to know the total surface area of the can available to the air outside the can. Since the can is a cylinder with a total surface area given by 2πrh + 2πr² =

A = 2πr(r + h)

Where h = height of the can = 12cm

r = radius of the can = 6.5cm/2 = 3.25cm

r = diameter /2

A = 2π×3.25 ×(3.25 + 12) = 311.4cm² = 311.4 ×10-⁴ = 0.031m²

Atmospheric pressure, P = 101325Pa = 101325 N/m²

F = P × A

F = 101325 ×0.031.

F = 3141N. Or 3.1 ×10³ N.
