Question:

A 900 kg motorcycle traveling at35 m/s slides to a stop after applying the brakes.?

If the surface of the road has a coefficient of kinetic friction of .30, how far does the motorcycle skid

Answer:

In reality a motorbike behaves very differently depending on so many factors. tyres and their condition, brakes, ABS and rider position (experience, reactions etc.) and once the bike bucks or turns and flips or slides on its side,,, where the rider is also makes a difference. You gave a friction figure so I have not talked about the road surface, rain, oil, loose, mud, potholes etc. Your answer should really be something like a piece of string.
