An escalator is 17.4 m long. If a person stands on the escalator, it takes 47.6 s to ride from the bottom to the top. If a perso

n walks up the moving escalator with a speed of 0.541 m/s relative to the escalator, how long does it take the person to get to the top?

Answer:

19.1 secs

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the velocity

= 17.4/47.6

= 0.37 m/s

Therefore the time taken for the person to reach the top can be calculated as follows

= 17.4/(0.37+0.541)

= 17.4 / 0.911

= 19.1 secs

Hence the time taken is 19.1 secs

A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with
lord [1]
Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]

Why doesn't every planet have a moon?​
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Up first are Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.
