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

a crude approximation of voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one
prohojiy [21]

The fundamental frequency of the tube is 0.240 m long, by taking air temperature to be 37^oC is 367.42 Hz.

A standing wave is basically a superposition of two waves propagating opposite to each other having equal amplitude. This is the propagation in a tube.

The fundamental frequency in the tube is given by

f=\frac{v_T}{4L}

where, v_T=v\sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }

Since, T=37+273 K = 310 K

v = 331 m/s

\therefore v_T=331\sqrt{\frac{310}{273} } = 352.72 \ m/s

Using this, we get:

f=\frac{352.72}{4(0.240)} \\f=367.42 \ Hz

Hence, the fundamental frequency is 367.42 Hz.

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?​
NemiM [27]
The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
