Homework Statement
While walking between gates at an airport, you notice a child running along a moving walkway. Estimating that the child runs at a constant speed of 2.9 m/s relative to the surface of the walkway, you decide to try to determine the speed of the walkway itself. You watch the...
I'm still having trouble. I eliminate x by setting the equations equal to each other: v*t = (1/2)*0.41*t2. Then I solve for V by dividing both sides by t, ending up with
v = \frac{(1/2)*0.41*t^{2}}{t}
The t on the bottom cancels out 1 of the t's on the top. When I try to graph this...
