@camerondoherty can u give any ideas

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Trying to understand the Question...

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

using relative motion

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Well it Takes him t1 time to go up when the escalator is moving while STANDING. It Takes him t2 time to go up while the escalator isnt moving while hes MOVING.

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

yeah

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

So its asking how long it'll take while hes WALKING up a MOVING escalator.

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

yes

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

So wouldnt you just add them up?

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

no (lol) it is physics and if u add them then think that it would be more time than the initial one
