An escape lane is an emergency area to slow down a vehicle in case of a brake failure. The following picture shows an escape lane consisting of a ramp where a component of the weight of the vehicle is sued to stop the car. A truck of mass 2500 kg enters the ramp with a speed v and is stopped after traveling 198 m on the ramp. Find the speed v (in m/s). Ignore any effect due to the road friction. Note: Don't write any unit in the answer box. Your answer is required with rounded off to minimum 2 decimal places. 10°

A robot drops a 1.2kg package from the roof of a building 12.4m tall. Ignoring wind resistance, with what force does the package hit the ground? A second robot drops a Nerf ball off the same roof, 12.4 m tall. The Nerf ball has a mass of 0.001kg. Which one (package or Nerf ball) hits the ground sooner?
Sometimes, steep roads going down have a small safety road by the side that goes up, which vehicules can use in an emergency, to slow down. A 3362.6 kg truck has lost its brakes coming down a mountain. Fortunately, there is a ramp of thick gravel inclined at 14 degrees that the driver can use to stop the truck. The truck hits the ramp moving at 20.58 m/s and then travels 35.6 meters up the ramp before it comes to a stop. What work is done by the gravel to stop the truck?
A student (m = 58 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of 0.04 s. The average force exerted on him by the ground is +18000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on him during the collision is that due to the ground. H=
A man pushing a crate of mass m= 92.0 kg at a speed of v 0.860 m/s encounters a rough horizontal surface of length t=0.65 m as in the figure below.

(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on the crate while it is on the rough surface. magnitude direction --Select- (b) Find the net work done on the crate while it is on the rough surface. (c) Find the speed of the crate when it reaches the end of the rough surface. m/s
By the side of a highway, a runaway truck ramp is built as a safety feature. The ramp rises at an angle of 24 degrees from the horizontal. A truck of mass 7,041 kg is moving at a speed of 37 m/s when the brakes fail. The driver turns off the engine and turns onto the runaway truck ramp. (a) If friction were negligible, how far will the truck travel (mifasured along the ramp) before coming to a stop? Number m (b) The ramp is designed to produce a strong frictional resistance. If the coefficient of rolling friction (similar to the coefficient of kinetic friction) is .456, how far will the truck travel up the ramp? Number m Hint for part (b): What is the initial energy of the truck? Draw a free body diagram as it moves up the ramp. What is the magnitude of the friction force? Suppose the truck moves a distance D and stops. What would be the work on the truck by friction? What would be the potential energy of the truck when it stops?
A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mN for a time of 0.10 ms; these are all typical values. At what speed does it leave the ground? Answer out to 3 decimal places.
A man (mass 45 kg) shoots himself out of a cannon straight upward with an initial velocity of 46 m/s towards a ledge 95 m above the cannon. There’s some air resistance occurring, and the man’s upward trajectory ends 6.0 meters below the ledge. A) What was the average force of frictional air resistance the man experienced during his upward motion? B) Assuming the same average air resistance on the way down, how fast will the man’s impact velocity be when he returns to the “ground” level of the cannon’s muzzle?

At the start of a race, a four-man bobsled team pushes their sled as fast as they can along a 50 m flat starting stretch. The net force that the four men together apply to the 325 kg bobsled is 80.093 N directed at 15 degrees below the horizontal. As they push, 60 N of kinetic friction opposes them. What is the speed of the sled right before the team jumps on the sled?
