A car of mass 922 kg is traveling 23.9 m/s when the driver applies the brakes, which lock the wheels. The car skids for 4.27 s in the positive x-direction before coming to rest.   (a) What is the car's acceleration (in m/s2)? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) .    (b) What magnitude force (in N) acted on the car during this time?     (c) How far (in m) did the car travel?
