A moving walkway in an airport is 60 m long and moves at a speed of 0.30 m/s.

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-18] [Hit: ]
For the first section of travel D = 35 m and V = 0.3 m/s.t1= D1/V1 = 35 m / 0.3 m/s = 116.For the second section of travel V2 = speed of walkway + speed of person walking = 0.3 m/s + 0.......
A passenger, after traveling 35 m while standing on the walkway, starts to walk at a speed of 0.60 m/s relative to the surface of the walkway.How long does she take to travel the total distance of the walkway? Help. Thanks.

To answer this question start with the basic equation Distance = Velocity * Time (D = V*t). D and V are given and you need to solve for t. So t = D/V . For the first section of travel D = 35 m and V = 0.3 m/s. This gives:
t1= D1/V1 = 35 m / 0.3 m/s = 116.7 s
For the second section of travel V2 = speed of walkway + speed of person walking = 0.3 m/s + 0.6 m/s = 0.9 m/s. D2 is the distance left on the walkway which is 25 m (60 m - 35 m). This gives:
t2 = D2/V2 = 25 m / 0.9 m/s = 27.8 s
The total travel time will be t1 + t2 = 116.7s + 27.8s = 114.4s
This is assuming that the person is walking in the same direction of travel as the walkway (note this is not stated).
I hope this helps.

18s just standing
35m is .41666% of the walkway and is walking at 54 m/s during that time
7.499 m/s is how long she was standing there before walking
so i think it took her 8.147s because at 54 m/s it only took her .61s to move across 35m
