A moving beltway at an airport has a speed 1 and a length L. A woman stands on the beltway as it moves from one end to the other, while a man in a hurry to reach his flight walks on the beltway with a speed of 2 relative to the moving beltway. (a) What time interval is required for the woman to travel the distance L? (b) What time interval is required for the man to travel this distance? (c) A second beltway is located next to the first one. It is identical to the first one but moves in the opposite direction at speed 1. Just as the man steps onto the beginning of the beltway and begins to walk at speed relative to his beltway, a child steps on the other end of the adjacent beltway. The child stands at rest relative to this second beltway. How long after stepping on the beltway does the man pass the child?

After a long and grueling race, two cadets, A and B, are coming into the finish line at the Marine Corps marathon. They move in the same direction along a straight path; the position-versus-time graphs for the runners are shown in Figure P2.7 for a minute near the end of the race. a. At time t1 is the speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of cadet A? b. At time t2, is cadet B speeding up, slowing down, or moving with constant speed? c. From time t = 0 to time t = 60 s, is the average speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the average speed of cadet A? Explain.

You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m>s passes you. When the rear of the bus is 12.0 m past you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of 0.960 m>s 2 . How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?
