The coefficient of friction between the wheels of Yamaha motorcycle and the dry pavement is 0.79. An animal walks out into the road, causing a motorcyclist to slam on the brakes. The wheels stop turning, but the tires skid along the road, causing intense friction and heat. Determine the magnitude (positive) of the acceleration which the 217-kg motorcycle experiences while skidding to a stop. The mass includes the rider. Answer: m/s/s (or m/s²)

a runaway truck with failed brakes is moving downgrade at 130 km/h just before the driver steers the truck up a frictionless emergency escape ramp with an inclination of u = 15.The truck’s mass is 1.2 = 104 kg. (a) What minimum length L must the ramp have if the truck is to stop (momentarily) along it? (Assume the truck is a particle, and justify that assumption.) Does the minimum length L increase, decrease, or remain the same if (b) the truck’s mass is decreased and (c) its speed is decreased?
At the scene of an accident, two traffic experts appear to determine which of the drivers was at fault considering that it was a highway where the speed limit is 80 km / h. The data collected in the field indicate that the vehicles stuck and skidded together a length of 25 m on the pavement whose dynamic friction coefficient is μk = 0.30. Considering that the masses of vehicles A and B are 2300 kg and 1500 kg, respectively, specify which of the cars was speeding at the moment of impact and by how much it exceeded the speed limit. Express your result in km / h for the purposes of the expertise.

a 55 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width w = 0.20 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.40 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is m1 = 0.40, and between boots and rock it is m2 = 1.2. (a) What is the least horizontal pull by the hands and push by the feet that will keep the climber stable?
