- You are working for the Highway Department. In mountainous regions, highways sometimes include a runaway truck ramp, and you are asked to help with the design of such a ramp. A runaway truck ramp is often a lane of gravel adjacent to a long downhill section of roadway where trucks with failing brakes may need assistance to stop. Working with your supervisor, you develop a worst-case scenario: a truck with a mass of 6.00 × 104 kg enters a runaway truck lane traveling at 34.1 m/s. Assume that the maximum constant value for safe acceleration of the truck is -5.00 m/s². Any higher magnitude of acceleration increases the likelihood that semi-trailer rigs could jackknife. Your supervisor asks you to advise her on the required length (in m) of a runaway truck lane on a flat section of ground next to the roadway. marrow_forwardA large cruise ship of mass 6.20 × 107 kg has a speed of 10.2 m/s at some instant.
