A boy of mass m= 36 kg is standing initially at rest relative to the moving walkway, which has a constant horizontal speed u = 1.1 m/s. He decides to accelerate his progress and starts to walk from point A with a steadily increasing speed and reaches point B (a distance s = 29 m) with a speed dx/dt = v = 2.5 m/s relative to the walkway. During his acceleration he generates an average horizontal force F between his shoes and the walkway. Calculate the work done on the boy by the force F from an absolute viewpoint and then from a relative viewpoint. Explain the difference. u A. B Answers: Absolute viewpoint, Work = i Relative viewpoint, Work = i
