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 car driver is stopped at a red light at an intersection. When the light goes green, she puts her foot on the accelerator, causing the engine to generate a varying driving force F(t) =430t + 860 t2 (with t in seconds, F in Newtons). It takes 3.00 seconds for the car to cross the intersection. The mass of the car (including passengers) is 700 kg. What is the speed of the car once it has crossed the interaction?
