A moving walkway has a speed of 0.4 m/s to the east. A Stationary observer sees a man walking on the walkway with a velocity of 0.3 m/s to the east. What is the man's velocity relative to the moving walkway?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Speed of man is 0.1 m/s towards west

Explanation:

Speed of moving walkway given as

v = 0.4 m/s towards East

Speed of man walking on the walkway with velocity 0.3 m/s to the East with respect to stationary observer.

so here it is the net speed of the man on the walkway

so we can say

[tex]v_{man} = v_{net} - v_{walkway}[/tex]

[tex]v_{man} = 0.3 m/s - 0.4 m/s[/tex]

[tex]v_{man} = - 0.1 m/s[/tex]

so man is moving with speed 0.1 m/s towards west
