You are working as a letter sorter in a U.S. Post Office. Postal regulations require that employees' footwear must have a minimu

m coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a coworker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.38 m in 1.21 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation?

Answer:

  μ = 0.66,    therefore if it compiesy with the regulations

Explanation:

Let's solve this exercise in part, let's start by finding with kinematics the acceleration of man

           y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

as it starts from rest the initial velocity is zero

          y = ½ a t²

          a = \frac{2y}{t^2}

          a =\frac{2 \ 4.38}{1.21^2}  

          a = 6.46 m / s²

Now let's use Newton's second law,

Axis y

         N- W = 0

         N = W

         N = m g

X axis

on this axis the man exerts a backward force and by the law of action and reaction the floor exerts a forward force of the same magnitude, this forward force is the friction force.

         fr = m a

     

the friction force has an expression

          fr = my N

let's substitute

      μ mg = m a

      μ = a / g

   

let's calculate

     μ = 6.46 / 9.8

     μ = 0.66

therefore if you comply with the regulations

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

Answer:

Yes, a mixture can be made up of just elements and no compounds. The elements never experiance a chemical interaction and stay only in physical contact with each other.

Using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, what would be the total displacement of the object if it took 8 seconds before h
ASHA 777 [7]
If it starts from 0m/s...
s=?
u=0
a=-10
t=8
s=ut +1/2at^2
so s=(0×8)+ (0.5×-10×64)
s=0+(32×-10)
s=32×-10
s=-320metres
