Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together. This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for. We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

Now the total force required is:
0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N
Answer:
19.3m/s
Explanation:
Use third equation of motion

where v is the velocity at halfway, u is the initial velocity, g is gravity (9.81m/s^2) and h is the height at which you'd want to find the velocity
insert values to get answer
![v^2-0^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(38/2)\\v^2=9.81m/s^2 *38\\v^2=372.78\\v=\sqrt[]{372.78} \\v=19.3m/s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%5E2-0%5E2%3D2%289.81m%2Fs%5E2%29%2838%2F2%29%5C%5Cv%5E2%3D9.81m%2Fs%5E2%20%2A38%5C%5Cv%5E2%3D372.78%5C%5Cv%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B372.78%7D%20%5C%5Cv%3D19.3m%2Fs)
Speed = distance / time.
Speed of him leaving the nest:
S = 100 / 20sec
5 m/s.
Catching the snake:
S2 = 50 / 5sec
10 m/s.
Average of 5& 10 = 7.5
7.5 m/s has to be the answer.
Velocity
Because velocity is speed with direction. In this scenario, the speed has not changed, but the direction did.
