When the moving sidewalk at the airport is broken, as it often seems to be, it takes you 50 s to walk from your gate to baggage claim. When it is working and you stand on the moving sidewalk the entire way, without walking, it takes 75 s to travel the same distance. How long will it take you to travel from the gate to baggage claim if you walk while riding on the moving sidewalk?

A treasure hunter follows a map moving 25 km [N], 37 km [W 37 degrees S], 63 km [E 65 degrees S] and finally 15 km [N 17 degrees E]. If his average for the entire trip was 45 km/hr, calculate: a. The total time for the trip; and b. The average velocity of the trip
Moving sidewalks are installed every other 50 meters along the entire stretch of an airport walkway. These sidewalks move at a constant speed of 1 m/s. A lady passenger takes one of the sidewalks to go from one point to the next. If the passenger decides to go back using the same sidewalk at 1 m/s, how long will it take to reach her point of origin?
I'm not sure how to solve this! I tried and got 1.3 / 2.4 seconds. Am i right? Could you explain how to do it if i'm not? Cheers ! In a classic Seinfeld episode, Jerry tosses a loaf of bread (a marble rye) straight upward to his friend George who is leaning out of a third-story window. If the loaf of bread leaves Jerry's hand at a height of 1 m with an initial velocity of 18 m/sec, write an equation for the vertical position of the bread s (in meters) t seconds after release. How long will it take the bread to reach George if he catches the bread on the way up at a height of 16 m? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.
Moving sidewalks are installed every other 50 meters along the entire stretch of an airport walkway. These sidewalks move at a constant speed of 1 m/s. A lady passenger takes one of the sidewalks to go from one point to the next. If the passenger simply stands on the sidewalk, how long will it take her to reach the next point? If the passenger walks at 1.25 m/s, how long will it take her to reach the next point?
Hello, I had a physics question. "Just as the traffic light changes to green, a Mustang drives through the intersection at a constant velocity of 14.2 m/s [N]. A Camaro that was stopped at the light accelerates from rest at 2.9 m/s^2 [N]. How much time passes before the two cars meet again? How far have they travelled? I figured out how to do the question but I'm really confused on the units of the distance. I used the d = v/t formula and the vit + 1/2at^2 formula but the units I ended up getting were m^2/s^3 for distance when it should just be m.
You're helping a friend move in to their apartment on the second floor, and decide it makes more sense to throw a box straight up from the ground to the open window in the apartment, 5.00 m above the ground. Your friend leans out the window and catches the box while it's moving upward at 2.40 m/s. What is the speed of the box as it left your hand?
You are riding the Power Tower, an amusement park ride in which you sit in a chair raised 387 m above the ground. When the ride begins, you are carried downward at a constant speed of 36.0 m/s. a) You drop a ball from rest at the moment you begin moving downward. At what height above the ground will the ball catch up with you? b) How fast will the ball be moving when it hits the ground?
As a science project, you drop a watermelon off the top of the Empire State Building, 320 m above the sidewalk. It so happens that Superman flies by at the instant you release the watermelon. Superman is headed straight down with a speed of 37.0 m/sm/s.How fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman?
I need to drive from A to C via B at total distance of ΔL. The distance from A to B is ΔL1, from B to C is ΔL2. I have time Δt to get from A to C, so I figure I can make it if I average <v> = ΔL/Δt for the entire trip. Going from A to B, the traffic is heavy and I can only average a speed v1. How fast do I have to go from B to C in order to average <v> for the whole trip? Write an equation expressing v2 (the speed I need to average going from B to C) in terms of the other symbols given: v1, ΔL1, ΔL2, and Δt.
A girl is standing at the edge of a cliff 100. m above the ground. She reaches out over the edge of the cliff and throws a rock straight upward with a speed 8.00 m/s. a) How long does it take the rock to hit the ground? b) What is the speed of the rock the instant before it hits the ground?
A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000 km. Suppose it accelerates at an acceleration 20.4 m/s2m/s2 for the first time interval 15.5 minmin of the trip, then travels at constant speed until the last time interval 15.5 minmin , when it accelerates at −− 20.4 m/s2m/s2 , just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. A) What is the maximum speed attained? B) What fraction of the total distance is traveled at constant speed? C) What total time is required for the trip?
NASA is launching a rocket into space from Earth. This particular rocket burns its fuel for 5 minutes and then turns off its engines. At this point, the rocket keeps floating along through space at a speed of 10 km/s. What is the rocket’s average acceleration during these first 5 minutes? Part 2: How far did the rocket travel during the first 5 minutes? Part 3: The Moon is approximately 3.8.105 km from Earth. At its final speed, how long will it take the rocket to reach the Moon? Part 4: The star nearest to us, called Alpha Centauri, is 4.1.1013 km away. Could this rocket get a man to Alpha Centauri before he dies of old age? (This is a real obstacle to NASA’s plans of exploring other solar systems than our own!) Part 5: The rocket is half way to the Moon when its pilot suddenly notices he forgot his camera! He radios a second rocket crew on Earth and tells them to bring his camera and meet him on the Moon when he lands. Unfortunately, the second rocket can only…
