O...I understand now. Thx for helping...In summary, the greatest acceleration a runner can muster is determined by Newton's 2nd law, which states that the net force (F) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a). In this scenario, the friction between the runner's shoes and the pavement is the net force, and can be set equal to ma to determine the maximum acceleration.

What is the greatest acceleration a runner can muster if the friction between her shoes and the pavement is 90% of her weight?

I dun really get it, for all I understand is only F=ma...

That's Newton's 2nd law. What's the force?

the force is net force, so is it just F-the friction= ma?

Yes. The net force is the friction.

Yes. The net force is the friction.

but what is the F in order to minus the friction?

No, the net force is the friction. Just set it equal to ma.
