Assuming your acceleration is constant ,does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation? 1. You are working as a letter sorter in the Post Office. Postal regulations require thatemployees' footwear must have a minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on aspecified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know thecoefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine thatthere is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a co-worker timeyou, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to movefaster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does yourfootwear qualify for the postal regulation?7.

Given: The static friction's coefficient is 0.5 The distance and time to move from rest is 4.23 m…
