When standing on an "UP" escalator, the trip takes 14s. When walking up on the same escalator, the trip takes only 10.0s. How much time is needed to walk down the "UP" escalator? (Or is this a trick question? Why?)

If you just stand still on an escalator (moving stairway), it takes 20 seconds for it to carry you up one floor, about 5 meters. But if you walk up, you get to the top of the escalator in only 12 seconds. (a) How much work does the escalator do in lifting you up to the next floor, it you just stand there? (b) How much if you walk up the escalator? (c) Some people expect the answer in part...
A marching band consists of rows of musicians walking in straight, even lines. When a marching band performs in an event, such as a parade, and must round a curve in the road, the musician on the outside of the curve must walk around the curve in the same amount of time as the musician on the inside of the curve. This motion can be approximated by a disk rotating at a constant rate about an axis perpendicular to its...
A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 97.5 km/h, except for a 22.0-min rest stop. If the person's average speed is 72.6 km/h, find the following. (a) How much time is spent on the trip? (b) How far does the person travel? A truck covers 40.0 m in 8.65 s while uniformly slowing down to a final velocity of 3.40 m/s. (a) Find the truck's original speed. (b) Find its acceleration.
You are walking down a straight path in a park and notice there is another person walking some distance ahead of you. The distance between the two of you remains the same, so you deduce that you are walking at the same speed of 1.17 m/s. Suddenly, you notice a wallet on the ground. You pick it up and realize it belongs to the person in front of you. To catch up, you start running at a speed of 2.75...
A rock takes 2.40 s to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of 8.17 m/s. How long (in s) would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?
A rock takes 3.2 s to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of 8.4 m/s. Calculate the height of the cliff (in meters). Using that information, how long would it take to reach the ground if the rock is thrown straight down with the same speed?
Part 2: Written Response Questions Your method of solution must be clearly presented and valid in order to obtain full marks each question. Remember units and setting up positive directions (unless otherwise stated in the question). 1. A student walking at a constant speed takes 21.5 minutes to walk 1600 m southwards towards a bus stop. At this instant, a bus stops and picks up the student, and drives to 3.5 km North to the college at an average speed...
Pam and Jim are standing on a bridge 50.0 m above a river. Pam throws a rock straight down with a speed of 20.0 m/s. Jim, at exactly the same instant of time, throws a rock straight up with a speed of 20.0 m/s. How much time elapses between the first splash and the second splash? (ignore air resistance
Hector and Javier are standing on a bridge 50m above a river. Hector throws a stone down with a speed of 20 m / s. Javier, at exactly the same time. Ignore air resistance. a) How much time elapses between the first hit and the second of the stones in the water? b) Which stone has the highest speed when it hits the water?
Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 49 m above a river.
Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 15 m/s . Jerry,
at exactly the same instant of time, throws a rock straight up with
the same speed. Ignore air resistance.
