A simple model shows how drawing a bow across a violin string causes the string to vibrate. As the bow moves across the string, static friction between the bow and the string pulls the string along with the bow. At some point, the tension pulling the string back exceeds the maximum static friction force and the string snaps back. This process repeats cyclically, causing the string's vibration. Assume the tension in a 0.33-m-long violin string is 65 N, and the coefficient of static friction between the bow and the string is μs = 0.80. If the normal force of the bow on the string is 0.50 N, how far can the string be pulled before it slips if the string is bowed at its center?

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
