One of the most important aspects for obtaining a fast bobsled run is the initial push before going downhill. In the two-man bobsled event, the brakeman pushes the back of the sled and the driver pushes from the side. After pushing for 10.0 m they jump in. If they start from rest and achieve a speed of 9.98 m/s when they jump in, determine the magnitude of their acceleration. [4.98 m/s²]

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.

A car is travelling with an initial speed of 25 m/s [fwd], when the driver spots a squirrel in the road, 48 m ahead. The driver immediately slams on the brakes, locking the wheels, and causing the car to “skid” (slide along the road). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the level, wet road is 0.60. Will the car hit the squirrel?
