Question

A moving walkway at the airport moves at a pace of 1.8 feet per second. If you stand on the walkway as it moves, how long will it take to transport you 270 feet?

Answer 1

150 seconds

Explanation:

use the velocity equation of

`V=(delta(D))/(Delta(T)\\)`

Where V is in feet per second, Delta D represents the change in displacement and delta t represents the change in time

all you need to do is rearrange the equation to find Delta(T)

as such...

`Delta(t)*V=Delta(D)\\Delta (t)=(Delta(D))/(V)\\Then\ insert\ your\ corresponding\ values\\\Delta(t)=(270 ft)/(1.8 feet/sec) \\Delta (t)= 150sec`
