<span>The force of static friction F equals the coefficient of friction u times the normal force N the object exerts on the surface: F = uN. N is the centripetal force of the wall on the people; N = ma_N, where m is the mass of the people and a_N is the centripetal acceleration. The people will not slip down if F is greater than the force of gravitation: F = uma_N > mg, or u > g/a_N. a_N is the velocity v of the people squared divided by the radius of the room r: a_N = v^2/r. The circumference of the room is 2 pi r = 28.3 m. So v = 28.3 * 0.8 m/sec = 22.6 m/sec. So a_N = 114 m/sec^2. g = 9.81 m/sec^2, so u must be at least 9.81/114 = 0.086.</span>

I'm walking 1.6m/s to 7-11 and it started to rain so I sped up to 2.7m/s in 1.2
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = \frac{v_f-v_0}{t} which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator.  For us:

a=\frac{2.7-1.6}{1.2} so

a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)
