2. Consider a football coach pacing back and forth along the sidelines. The diagram below shows several of the coach's positions at various times. At each marked position, the coach makes a "U-turn" and moves in the opposite direction. In other words, the coach moves from position A to B to C to D.

Miguel, an Ultimate Frisbee player, is running three drills (Fig. P3.17). In the first drill. Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and then makes a 90 turn to the right, running an additional distance d. In the second drill, Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and makes a 95 turn to the right before running an additional distance d.

A moving beltway at an airport has a speed 1 and a length L. A woman stands on the beltway as it moves from one end to the other, while a man in a hurry to reach his flight walks on the beltway with a speed of 2 relative to the moving beltway. (a) What time interval is required for the woman to travel the distance L? (b) What time interval is required for the man to travel this distance? (c) A second beltway is located next to the first one. It is identical to the first one but moves in the opposite direction at speed 1. Just as the man steps onto the beginning of the beltway and begins to walk at speed relative to his beltway, a child steps on the other end of the adjacent beltway. The child stands at rest relative to this second beltway. How long after stepping on the beltway does the man pass the child?
