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 130 m and is moving at a speed of 2.4 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 70 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 130 m using the speed ramp?

A particle has a velocity of v= (3i+5j)m/s and a constant acceleration of a=(-1.5i-4.5j)m/s^2 What is its velocity after 2 seconds? Is it moving faster or slower after 2 seconds?
The patient attends physiotherapy procedures at the clinic every day. Every morning he leaves the house at the same time and moves at a constant velocity 2,5 km/h. Once, leaving the house on time, the patient, on the 1/2 part of the way, remembered that he had forgotten the documents at home and decided to return home. How fast does the patient have to move in order to be in time for the beginning of the procedure? Please enter the correct units of measurement.
The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Suppose a car is designed to accelerate at this rate. How much time (in seconds) would be required for the car to accelerate from rest to 59.9 miles per hour? (The car would need rocket boosters!)
A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.1250.125 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.04500.0450 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path but does measure the total round-trip time to be 50.050.0 min. How far did she run? (Do not include walking distance.)
You travel from point A to point B in a car moving at a constant speed of 70 km/h. Then you travel the same distance from point B to another point C, moving at a constant speed of 90 km/h. Is your average speed for the entire trip from A to C 80 km/h? Explain why or why not.
Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
Some troublemaking kids are dropping water balloons from the roof of your apartment building. You are in your ﬁfth-ﬂoor room and your window is 25 m above the sidewalk outside. You look outside and see that each balloon hits the pavement 1.5 s after passing your window. Express answers using 2 signiﬁcant ﬁgures. a) How fast are the balloons traveling when they pass your window? b) Assuming the balloons are being released from rest, from what height above your window are they being released? c) If you threw a balloon upwards from your window with an initial speed of 6.5 m/s, would you be able to get it to the roof?
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?
You are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 300km. You leave for the interview 3 ¼ hours before it is scheduled, planning to drive at 100 km/hr. You drive at that speed for the first 100 km. Then, construction work on the road causes you to drive at 40 km/hr for 60 km. At what constant speed must you drive the rest of the way to get to the interview on time.
You and your family are going on a road trip to visit your recently married cousin in B.C. The total round trip distance is 2100 km. On the way to B.C., you encounter no setbacks and you are able to drive on average at a constant speed. On the way home from B.C., you encounter a snowstorm and your mom has to slow down to avoid getting into an accident. Thus, your average speed decreases by 10 km/h. If the total driving time was 42 hours, what was your average speed on the way to B.C.? Recall distance = speed x time.
You normally drive on a freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h, and the trip takes 2 h and 20 mins. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h. How much longer does the trip take?
You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building. Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 23.90⁢ m/s2 or travel faster than 19.3 m/s, what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? minimum travel time: ?
