You encounter a moving walkway that is 81 m long and has a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground.
How long would it take you to cover the 81 m length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you immediately turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.6 m/s relative to the walkway?
Express your answer using one significant figure.
An automobile moving with 95 km/hrs is passing a train that is 1.10 km long. The speed of the train moving on a horizontal rail roads in the same direction as the automobile is 75 km/hrs. How long does it take for the automobile to pass the train? What is the distance covered by the automobile during this time?
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?
