Final answer:
The student's question pertains to calculating the maximum possible acceleration based on the static coefficient of friction between their feet and a platform, and subsequently how far they would travel. Without specific details on speeds, distances, or times, the exact distance cannot be determined, although it can be inferred the student wouldn't move due to static friction.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking about the maximum acceleration they can achieve given the available friction, and how far they would travel on a platform due to this acceleration.
To calculate the maximum acceleration, we need to use the static coefficient of friction between the student's feet and the platform. The normal force in this case is the weight of the student, which is the product of their mass and the gravitational acceleration (70 kg × 9.8 m/s²). The maximum static frictional force is this normal force multiplied by the coefficient of friction (1.1).
Since the platform is on the ground and could potentially move as well, we would also take into account the friction between the platform and the ground. However, as the friction between the person and the platform is higher, it will likely dictate the starting acceleration.
Due to the limited information on distance covered during the acceleration phase and the absence of a specific question about this, we cannot calculate the exact distance the student would be from the start. We could assume that they would not move due to the static friction being greater than the kinetic friction, but since no specific speeds, distances or time intervals are provided, an exact answer cannot be given.
