The maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.
The given parameters:
- Mass of the rope, m = 71 kg
- Tension on the rope, T = 220 N
- Coefficient of kinetic friction, = 0.1
- Time of motion, t = 8 s
- Newton's second law of motion states that, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
The net force on Tim is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;
Thus, the maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.
