In the figure below, a runaway truck with failed brakes is moving downgrade at 36 m/s just before the driver steers the truck up a frictionless emergency escape ramp with an inclination of theta = 15°. The truck’s mass is 1.5 x 104 kg. (a) What minimum length L of the ramp must the ramp have if the truck is to stop at the top of the ramp at height h? (b) Does the minimum length L increase, decrease, or remain the same if the truck’s mass is decreased? Why? (c) If its speed is decreased? Why? Hint: Use Energy Principles.

Static and Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.
