Question
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?

Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, c. What is the keys' acceleration when it reached its highest point?d. What is the keys' velocity when it reached its highest point?arrow_forward

- Hi, I need help with this physcis problem. I've gone over it multiple times and can't firgure it out. Anyway you can help? A car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/s2 due east (choose east as the positive direction; round your answer to the nearest meter per second; include units)What is its velocity after 1 second? What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What is its velocity after 3 seconds? What is its velocity after 4 seconds? What is its velocity after 5 seconds? What is its velocity after 9 seconds? If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/s2 due eastWhat is its velocity after 1 second? What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What is its velocity after 3 seconds? If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/s2 due westWhat is its velocity after 1 second?arrow_forwardNASA has fired a rocket straight up into the air from ground level with an unknown initial velocity. It reaches a maximum height of 164,000 feet. This happened in Cape Canaveral therefore the rocket is under the acceleration of Earth's gavity in which we all know is -32 ft/sec/sec. Please round your answers to two decimal places. a). Find the time it takes for the rocket to reach maximum height. b). find the initial velocity necessary to reach that height.arrow_forwardYou are driving your car uphill along a straight road. Of Suddenly, you see a car go through a red light and enter the intersection, just ahead of you. you. You immediately apply your brakes and skid straight to a stop, leaving a 100 ft long mark from the landslide. A policeman observes the whole incident, give the driver of the car a ticket for running a red light. He also gives a ticket to you for exceeding the 30 mph speed limit. When you get home, you read your physics book and you may notice that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road was 0.60, and the coefficient of static friction was 0.80. You estimate that the hill makes an angle of about 10° with the horizontal. Check the manual owner and find that your car weighs 2,050 lbs. Are you going to claim the traffic ticket? in the court? Support your argument. Please type answer not write by hendarrow_forward
