one people mover has a velocity of 2m/s and is used to move people to a gate 200 m away two different people were traveling to the gate the first person stood still on the people mover while the second person was walking on it at 3m/s
How much longer would it take the first person to arrive at the gate


Sagot :

Answer:

60 sec.

Explanation:

The first person has to travel 200m at 2 m/s. It will take him 200/2=100 seconds to reach the gate. The second person is moving towards the gate at 2 + 3 meters per second so it will take her 200/5 = 40 seconds to reach the gate. Therefore, person #1 needs an extra 100-40 = 60 seconds.
