Question

If the truck is traveling at v = 10 m/s after driving over 20 m of gravel on the escape ramp, what is the magnitude of the constant force the

gravel applies to the truck? Please solve this problem using the required solution procedure and upload your complete written solution. A truck of mass m =5000 kg is traveling at vi =30 m/s when it reaches the top of the hill. Beyond the hill, the road is iced over and frictionless.The truck descends the hill and exits onto an escape ramp for runaway trucks.The entrance to the escape ramp is h120 m lower than the top of the hill.The escape ramp has a 5-to-1 slope (see picture, 1 vertical meter for every5 horizontal meters), and is filled with gravel that applies a constant frictionalf orce to the truck as it goes up the ramp.
