Runaway truck ramps are used on mountain roads to stop trucks whose brakes fail. The ramps work by using sand to increase the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the road. Suppose that the ramp is flat and is d = 150 m long with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 4.0. Find the height above the ramp that the brakes of a truck can fail if it is going v0 = 25 m/s at the time that its breaks fail. You may ignore all sources of friction until the truck reaches the runaway ramp.

A Runaway Truck Name: Truck brakes can fail if they get too hot. In some mountainous areas, ramps of loose gravel are constructed to stop runaway trucks that have lost their brakes. The combination of a slight upward slope and a large coefficient of rolling resistance as the truck tires sink into the loose gravel brings the truck safely to a halt. Suppose such a gravel ramp slopes upward at 6.0° and the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.40. Use...

Truck brakes can fail if they get too hot. In some mountainous areas, ramps of loose gravel are constructed to stop runaway trucks that have lost their brakes. The combination of a slight upward slope and a large coefficient of rolling friction as the truck tires sink into the gravel brings the truck safely to a halt. Suppose a gravel ramp slopes upward at 6.0∘ and the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.48. Use work and energy to find the...

A truck with failed brakes is moving downgrade at 120 km/hr just before the driver steers the truck up an emergency escape ramp with an inclination of theta= 15 degrees. The trucks mass is 1.4x10^4 kg. Assume that the rolling friction behaves like kinetic friction, and the coefficient of rolling friction between the tires and ramp is 0.10. What minimum length L must the ramp have if the truck is to stop (momentarily) along it?

5. A runaway truck with a mass of 2100 kg strikes a car of mass 1350 kg, which was at rest before the collision. The car’s wheels are locked during the entire event, but the truck has no brakes, i.e., it is rolling freely on the road. The two vehicles move forward together, and the car’s tires leave skid marks for a distance of 1.5 m. Suppose that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car’s tires and the road...

Figure Qla shows a safety trap for trucks (not to scale) that has been installed on a very steep slope to prevent runaway trucks from crashing. It consists of a rough run- off lane of length 20m (beginning at point A) and a buffer designed to stop the vehicle. The buffer can be modelled as a spring of spring constant 750 kN/m and natural length 4m, compressed to 1m using cables. The run-off lane provides an effective coefficient of kinetic...

5, Some of the funniest videos on the web involve motorists sliding uncontrollably on icy roads. Here let's compare the typical stopping distances for a car sliding to a stop from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s on a dry horizontal road, an icy hori- zontal road, and (everyone's favorite) an icy hill. (a) How far does the car take to slide to a stop on a hori- zontal roadi if the coefficient of kinetic friction is = 0.60, which...
