A child runs to and fro with a speed 9 km h-1 (with respect to the belt) on a long horizontally moving belt (figure) between h is father and mother located 50 m apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of 4 km h-1. For an observer on the stationary platform outside, what is the (a) speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt and (b) speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt? (c) time taken by the child in (a) and (b). Which of the answers will alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents?
