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

ecified tile surface. A typical athletic shoe has a coefficient of 0.830. 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?

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

What happens to the ball's velocity while the ball is traveling upwards?
Bess [88]
If the ball does not have a propeller or jet engine on it, then it is an object
in free fall.  That means its downward speed grows by 9.8 m/s for every
second that it's in the air. 

If it happens to be traveling upward at the moment, then that won't last long. 
Its upward speed is decreasing by 9.8 m/s every second.  It will eventually
run out of upward gas and start moving downward.  At that instant, you might
say that the direction of its velocity has changed by 180 degrees.
