Answer:
0.2
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The acceleration of the train, a = 0.2·g
The mass of the person standing on the train = m
Let μ represent the coefficient of static friction, we have;
The force acting on the person, F = m × a = m × 0.2·g
The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor, = m·g·μ
For the person not to slide we have;
The force acting on the person = The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor
F =
∴ m × 0.2·g = m·g·μ
From which we get;
0.2 = μ
The coefficient of static friction that must exist between the feet and the floor if the person is not to slide, μ = 0.2.
Explanation:
Given that,
Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.
Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:
is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)
is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.
Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is
Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be
So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).
