Answer

190 s

Work Step by Step

Let's take, John's velocity relative to Chad = $V_{JC}$ John's velocity relative to the ground = $V_{JG}$ The ground's velocity relative to Chad = $V_{GC}$ Chad's velocity relative to the ground =$V_{CG}$ We can write, $V_{JC}=V_{JG}+V_{GC}=V_{JG}-V_{CG}$ ; Let's plug known values here. $V_{JC}=\space\uparrow 4.5\space m/s-\uparrow 4\space m/s=\space\uparrow 0.5\space m/s$ The time it makes for John $=\frac{95\space m}{V_{JC}}= \frac{95\space m}{0.5\space m/s}=190\space s$ to pass Chad
