a) What distance do I travel along the cargo bed when I end up back on the cargo bed? b) If the truck driver applies brakes at the instant when I jump so that the truck decelerates at 1 m/s2, what is the distance between my position at the end of the jump and the front of the cargo bed if the length of the cargo bed is 5 m. Assume that the truck cannot start going in reverse.
A truck is moving with constant velocity of 10 m/s up an incline that makes an angle of 10∘ with the horizontal. I am standing at the back of the cargo bed. I jump in the forward direction, with my initial velocity vector making an angle of 15∘ with the horizontal (in the frame of the truck). My initial speed (with respect to the truck) is 2
m/s.
