A boy of mass m is standing initially at rest relative to the moving walkway, which has a constant horizontal speed u. He decides to accelerate his progress and starts to walk from point A with a steadily increasing speed and reaches point B with a speed ?= v relative to the walkway. During his acceleration he generates an average horizontal force F between his shoes and the walkway. Write the work-energy equations for his absolute and relative motions and explain the meaning of the term muv.
