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 proton (mass m = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 2.20 x 1015 m/s² in a machine. The proton has an initial speed of 2.00 x 107 m/s and travels 4.1 cm. (a) What is its speed? (Give your answer to at least four significant figures.) m/s
Ben and Holly were playing with a flash drive in the computer room. Ben slid the flash drive on top of the table for Holly to catch. However, Holly failed to catch the flash drive so it went straight out of the window with an initial velocity of 2.5 m/s. If the point at which it exits the window is 15 m from the ground, determine how fast it is moving the instant before it hits the ground?

A thief is trying to escape from a parking garage after completing a robbery, and the thief’s car is speeding (v = 11 m/s) toward the door of the parking garage (Fig. P2.60). When the thief is L = 14 m from the door a police officer flips a switch to close the garage door. The door starts at a height of 7 m and moves downward at 0.3 m/s. If the thief’s car is 1.4 m tall, will the thief escape? (Find the height of the door above the ground).
A train has an initial speed of 10 m/sec. It is picking up speed with an acceleration of 6 m/sec/sec over the next 5 seconds. Give the speed of the car in m/sec at 0 seconds only. t = 0 t = 1 t = 2 t = 3 t = 4 t = 5 After reaching the speed you calculated at t = 5, the bus immediately begins to decelerate at 2 m/sec/sec for the next 5 seconds (until t = 10 seconds). Find the speed at t=6,7,8, and 9. t = 6 t = 7 t = 8 t = 9 t = 10
Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luthor. After flying for 12 seconds, he is 1900 meters from her. Then at 18 seconds he is 1600 meters from her. What is Superman's average speed? meters per second m/s How far from Lois did Superman start? meters Write an equation to model this situation (used for distance from Lois in meters and s for seconds).
On a particularly busy workday, I might need to drive back and forth between ASUN’s Newport and Jonesboro campuses, which are 38 miles apart. It takes me 48 min to make the drive from the Newport campus to the Jonesboro campus. On the return trip from Jonesboro to Newport, I decide to speed by maintaining an average speed that is 10 mi/hr faster than my average speed going from Newport to Jonesboro.
A breaststroke competition consists of swimming back to the opposite end and back to where you started. Suppose a swimmer completes the first 50 m of the 100 m breaststroke in 39.1 seconds. When he reaches the opposite end of the 50 m long pool, he turns back and swims to the starting point in 42.5 seconds. What is the swimmer's average speed for the return leg only?a) 1.18 m / sb) 1.23 m / sc) 0.12 m / sd) 0 m / s
At t=0, a particle starts with an initial velocity of 10 i m/s and accelerates uniformly at (-2.0 i +4.0 J) m/s^2. What is the speed of particle at t=5s? 1- 32m/s 2- 30 m/s 3- 28 m/s 4- 20 m/s 5- 10 m/s
A runner and a cyclist compete in a race over a straight course 20 km long. The runner runs at a steady speed of 10 m/s toward the finish line. The cyclist zips at a speed of 23 m/s toward the finish line for 12 km but upon seeing that he is already far ahead of the runner, he decides to stop and wait for the runner to catch up to him. The runner eventually reaches the cyclist and continues moving toward the finish line. The cyclist waits for a while after the runner passes and then cycles toward the finish line again at 23m/s. Both the cyclist and the runner cross the finish line in the exact same instant. Assume both of them, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the runner from the finish line when the cyclist resumes the race? (b) For how long in time was the cyclist stationery?
Tired, you walk from your house to a local coffee shop to get an espresso. You average a speed of 2.4 m/s on your way there. After your espresso, you decide to run directly back to your starting point with an average speed of 5.6 m/s. Assume you spend 4 minutes at the coffee shop. If your average speed for this entire trip is 1.9 m/s, what is the distance between your house and the coffee shop?
An object's position in the as a function of time obeys the equation; x(t) = 14.2/t2.17 + 5.1t3 where all constants have proper SI Units. What is the speed of the object in the x direction at t = 1.93 seconds?
