16. Running without friction is impossible. In fact, to maximize your acceleration, you need to maximize the static friction between your shoes and the floor. a) Explain why static friction is necessary for running or walking. requirement, employees' shoes must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a specified tile surface. In an emergency, what is the minimum time interval in which a postal worker starting from rest can move a distance of 3 m on the tile surface? c) A typical athletic shoe has a coefficient of static friction of 0.8 when used on a running track. What is the minimum time interval in which an athlete starting from rest can move a distance of 100 m on a running track? b) To meet a U.S. Postal Service

Road Runner's revenge. Wile E. Coyote is on the vertical front of a train that is accelerating. He is not standing on anything and is not holding on to anything. He is being held up solely by the frictional force between him and the front of the accelerating train. Coyote has a mass of 18.0 kg, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.20 for this situation. Determine the minimum acceleration required for the coyote to not slip down the front of the train.
