Respuesta :

Answer:

The  maximum  velocity is  [tex]a_{max} = 1.96 m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The coefficient of static friction is  [tex]\mu = 0.20[/tex]

     

Generally the maximum acceleration can be mathematically represented as

          [tex]a_{max} = \mu * g[/tex]

Where g is  the acceleration due to gravity and the value is  [tex]g = 9.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]

substituting vlues

        [tex]a_{max} = 0.20 *9.80[/tex]

       [tex]a_{max} = 1.96 m/s^2[/tex]
