To meet a U. S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a specified tile surface. A typical athletic shoe has a coefficient of 0.870. In an emergency, what is the minimum time interval in which a person starting from rest can move 3.20 m on a tile surface if she is wearing the following footwear? (a) footwear meeting the Postal Service minimum
(b) a typical athletic shoe

(a) 1.14 s

(b) 0.87 s

Explanation:

A person moves by the help of frictional force, as a result of gtound reaction. So, the formula for frictional force is:

F = μR

where,

F = frictional force

μ = coefficient of friction

R = Normal Reaction = Weight of Body = W = mg

Therefore,

F = μmg

but, from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

F = ma

Comparing both equations, we get:

μmg = ma

a = μg   equation (1)

Now, to calculate the distance moved by a body, we use 2nd equation of motion:

s = (Vi)(t) + (0.5)at²

using equation (1), we get:

s = (Vi)(t) + (0.5)μgt²

where,

s = distance moved by body

Vi = initial velocity of body

t = time taken to cover the distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

(a)

Vi = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

s = 3.2 m

μ = 0.5

t = ?

Therefore,

3.2 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = 3.2 m/(0.5)(0.5)(9.8 m/s²)

t = √1.30612 s²

t = 1.14 s

(a)

Vi = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

s = 3.2 m

μ = 0.5

t = ?

Therefore,

3.2 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = 3.2 m/(0.5)(0.5)(9.8 m/s²)

t = √1.30612 s²

t = 1.14 s

(a)

Vi = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

s = 3.2 m

μ = 0.87

t = ?

Therefore,

3.2 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(0.87)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = 3.2 m/(0.5)(0.87)(9.8 m/s²)

t = √0.75 s²

t = 0.87 s

explanation:

wheres the pic

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
