- Two cars are initially (2.50+C) km apart on a straight road. If the cars are moving toward each other, car 1 with a speed of (5.40+A) m/s and car 2 with a speed of (7.20+B) m/s, how many seconds will it take before the cars meet? Round your answer to three significant figures. A=8 B=7 C=15You encounter a moving walkway that is 81 m long and has a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground. How long would it take you to cover the 81 m length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you immediately turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.6 m/s relative to the walkway? Express your answer using one significant figure.A UFO is observed directly above the earth moving at a constant velocity.
