The coefficient of static friction between the ground and the soles of a runner's shoes is 0.98. What is the maximum speed at which the runner can accelerate without slipping if they have a mass of 73 kg?

(I) What is the maximum acceleration a car can undergo if the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is $0.90 ?$
Calculate the maximum acceleration of a car that is heading up a $4^{\circ}$ slope (one that makes an angle of $4^{\circ}$ with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. Assume that only half the weight of the car is supported by the two drive wheels and that the coefficient of static friction is involved- that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the acceleration. (lgnore rolling.) (a) On dry concrete. (b) On wet concrete. (c) On ice, assuming that $\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.100$ , the same as for shoes on ice.
