Travelers spaced 10 feet apart are all walking at 3 mph relative to a moving sidewalk. When the moving sidewalk ends, they continue to walk at 3 mph. An observer standing next to the moving sidewalk notes that the travelers are passing by at a frequency of 1 hertz. A second observer stands just beyond the end of the moving sidewalk and notes the frequency at which the travelers pass.

Would this frequency be greater than, equal to, or less than 1 hertz? Is the spacing between the travelers after leaving the moving sidewalk greater than, equal to, or less than 10 feet? Explain.
