You are walking on a moving walkway in the airport. The length of the walkway is 40.1 m. If your velocity relative to the walkway is 2.41 m/s, and the walkway moves with a velocity of 1.59 m/s, how long will it take you to reach the other end of the walkway?
To find how long it will take you to reach the other end of the walkway, you need to calculate the time it takes for you to cover the distance.
First, let's understand the scenario. You're walking on a moving walkway, which means you have two velocities at play: your velocity relative to the walkway and the velocity of the walkway itself.
Your velocity relative to the walkway is given as 2.41 m/s, and the walkway moves at a velocity of 1.59 m/s.
We can calculate your total velocity by adding your velocity relative to the walkway to the velocity of the walkway.
Total velocity = Your velocity relative to the walkway + Velocity of the walkway
Total velocity = 2.41 m/s + 1.59 m/s
Total velocity = 4 m/s
Now that we have the total velocity, we can calculate the time it takes to cover the distance.
Time = Distance / Total velocity
Time = 40.1 m / 4 m/s
Time = 10.025 s
Therefore, it will take you approximately 10.025 seconds to reach the other end of the walkway.
