When,a man stands still on a moving walkway that is going at a speed of 0.2 m/s to the west,then the velocity of the man according to a stationary observer would be 0.2 m/s west,Therefore, the correct answer would be option B.
The total displacement covered by any object per unit of time is known as velocity. The velocity of an object is depend on the magnitude as well as the direction of the object.
the mathematical expression for velocity is given by
velocity = total displacement /time
The speed and velocity of the object are very different from each other because speed does not depend upon the direction of the moving object but velocity depends on the magnitude of speed as well as the direction of the moving object.
As per given in the problem a man stands still on a moving walkway that is going at a speed of 0.2 m/s to the west therefore from the perspective of a stationary observer the velocity of man would be 0.2 m/s towards West.
Hence the correct options for the problem would be option B.
