A particle moves down a horizontal route that begins 5 feet to the right of a specific point P with an initial velocity of 4 feet per second. Another particle is going along the same route, beginning 3 feet to the left of P with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second. Consider that the accelerations of the two particles are a1(t) = 2t 3 and a2(t) = 2t 5, respectively. Will the particles collide? Justify your response

You encounter a moving walkway that is 81 m long and has a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground. How long would it take you to cover the 81 m length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you immediately turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.6 m/s relative to the walkway? Express your answer using one significant figure.
