Moving sidewalks are installed every other 50 meters along the entire stretch of an airport walkway. These sidewalks move at a constant speed of 1 m/s. A lady passenger takes one of the sidewalks to go from one point to the next.
If the passenger decides to go back using the same sidewalk at 1 m/s, how long will it take to reach her point of origin?
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?
Any assistance with this physics problem would be great!
