The net force on the boy is zero.

Based on this analysis, I would expect the boy to <u>not accelerate</u>.

The net force of the boy is 300N=><=300N which equals a net force of 0N.

To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a sp

Answer:

0.79 s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F_x:f_{max}=ma_x\\\sum F_y:N-mg=0$

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that $f_{max}=\mu N$

Now, we find the acceleration:

$\mu N=ma_x\\\mu mg=ma_x\\a_x=\mu g\\a_x=0.83(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\a_x=8.134\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

$x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\2x=a_xt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.2m)}{8.134\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=0.79 s$
