A semi is traveling down the highway at a velocity of v = 39.5 m/s. The driver observes a wreck ahead, locks his brakes, and begins to slide. The truck has mass m and a coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road of μk = 0.25. Write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction for the truck while braking. Using the results from that input an expression for the trucks acceleration, ax, while braking. What is the magnitude of the acceleration in m/s^2, and how far does the truck travel, d in meters, before stopping?

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”
