A car of mass 972 kg is traveling 20.4 m/s when the driver applies the brakes, which lock the wheels. The car skids for 4.27 s in the positive x-direction before coming to rest. HINT (a) What is the car's acceleration (in m/s2)? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s (b) What magnitude force (in N) acted on the car during this time? N (c) How far (in m) did the car travel? m A car of mass 972 kg is traveling 20.4 m/s when the driver applies the brakes, which lock the wheels.
