Chapter 4, Problem 19EAP
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?

An airport terminal has a moving sidewalk to speed passengers through a long corridor. Larry does not use the moving sidewalk; he takes 150 s to walk through the corridor. Curly, who simply stands on the moving sidewalk, covers the same distance in 70 s. Moe boards the sidewalk and walks along it. How long does Moe take to move through the corridor? Assume that Larry and Moe walk at the same speed.
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 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?

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?
