56. At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt on which you can either stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 105 m and is moving at a speed of 2.0 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 75 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 105 m using the speed ramp?

Question

56. At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from
one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt on which
you can either stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 105 m
and is moving at a speed of 2.0 m/s relative to the ground. In addition,
suppose you can cover this distance in 75 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 105 m using
the speed ramp?

Use the following information to answer the next two questions The year is 1927. You are a crime scene investigator. You are considering pressing reckless driving charges against the driver of Car 2. To do this, you must find the speed of Car 2 before the crash. Allegedly, Car 1 was parked, when Car 2 crashed into it. Using the skid pattern, you determine that the speed of the two joined vehicles was 17 m/s immediately following the impact. Car 1 has mass of 1800 kg and Car 2 has a mass of 1100 kg.
