At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is moving converyor belt on which you csan iether stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 117 m and is moving at a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 73 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that you walk on the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 117 m using the speed ramp?

Concept explainers

Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration

In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.

Linear Displacement

The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.

Stopping Distance When the driver of a vehicle observesan impediment, the total stopping distance involves boththe reaction distance (the distance the vehicle travels whilethe driver moves his or her foot to the brake pedal) and thebraking distance (the distance the vehicle travels once thebrakes are applied). For a car traveling at a speed of v milesper hour, the reaction distance R, in feet, can be estimatedby R1v2 = 2.2v. Suppose that the braking distance B, infeet, for a car is given by B1v2 = 0.05v2 + 0.4v - 15.(a) Find the stopping distance functionD1v2 = R1v2 + B1v2. (b) Find the stopping distance if the car is traveling at aspeed of 60 mph.(c) Interpret D1602.
