Basketball players execute quick moves, relying on tractionenabled by friction between their shoes and a clean woodenfloor.Dust on a wooden floor can reduce the coefficient of staticfriction from a high value of 1.15 on a clean floor to as low as0.280on a dusty floor, creating dangerously slippery conditions.Suppose a player starting at rest moves 6.27 m on the court.Whatminimum time (in s) would this move take in the followinglocations? (Hint: Consider the maximum constant horizontalforcethat can be exerted on the court floor without slipping.)
