A motorcyclist is traveling at 51.9 mph on a flat stretch of highway during a sudden rainstorm. The rain has reduced the coefficient of static friction between the motorcycle's tires and the road to 0.076 when the motorcyclist slams on the brakes. (a) What is the minimum distance required to bring the motorcycle to a complete stop? (b) What would be the stopping distance if it were not raining and the coefficient of static friction were 0.580?

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 20-Mg train is traveling at a speed of 50 m/s. But the driver noticed that the bridge300-m ahead is missing. At once, he pulls the break, thus applying a frictionalresistance of Ff = 1000 N. At the same time Super Botting pushes back the train witha force of Fs = [(123)d + 100] N, where d is the distance that the train travels before stopping.Determine the stopping distance d, and mention whether or not Superbotting wouldbe able to save the train.
