Question

you are on a walk moving at 3m/s forward what would happen i you stepped off onto the floor? what if you stepped onto another walkaway moving with the same velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The person ma tend to fall

2) The person will remain upright

Explanation:

1) According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will continue in its state of rest or maintain its uniform motion on a straight line unless acted on by a force

Therefore, when a person steps off onto the floor from a walkway moving at 3 m/s, the friction between the floor and the person's feet prevents the forward motion of the feet, however the person's upper body will tend to continue with the forward motion, and the person may tend to tilt and fall over

2) If the person steps onto another walkway moving with the same velocity, the initial velocity of all parts of the person's body is maintained, such that the person will continue in his uniform motion without experiencing any force and therefore, the person will remain upright
