Question

A moving walkway at the airport moves at a pace of 1.8 feet per second. If you stand on the walkway as it moves, how long will it take to transport you 270 feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

150 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

use the velocity equation of

$V=\frac{delta(D)}{Delta(T)\\}$

Where V is in feet per second, Delta D represents the change in displacement and delta t represents the change in time

all you need to do is rearrange the equation to find Delta(T)

as such...

$Delta(t)*V=Delta(D)\\Delta (t)=\frac{Delta(D)}{V}\\Then\ insert\ your\ corresponding\ values\\\Delta(t)=\frac{270 ft}{1.8 feet/sec} \\Delta (t)= 150sec$
