A truck (m = 10000 kg) is traveling at a speed of 30 m/s (about 70 mph) down the Kailua side of the Pali Highway when its brakes cut out. The truck driver quickly navigates to a "runaway truck ramp" to slow down enough that he can apply his emergency brakes. If the truck was originally at a height of 10.0m above the bottom of the "runaway truck ramp", and friction is negligible, how high up the ramp (height) does the truck need to go to come to a stop?
