Question

You are walking on a moving walkway in the airport. The length of the walkway is 59.1 m. If your velocity relative to the walkway is 2.35 m/s, and the walkway moves with a velocity of 1.85 m/s, how long will it take you to reach the other end of the walkway

Answer 1

Answer:

14.1seconds approx

Explanation:

Given data

Distance= 59.1m

Your velocity= 2.35m/s

Walkway velocity= 1.85m/s

Total velocity= 2.35+1.85= 4.2m/s

We know that

Velocity= distance/time

time= distance/velocity

substitute

time= 59.1/4.2

time= 14.07

time=14.1seconds approx

Hence the time is 14.1seconds approx
