Answer:

$W=-21,870,000\ J$

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

$W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0$

Since

$\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

We have

$\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

$\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}$

$W=0-21870000\ J$

$\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}$

Dimas [21]

Gravity increased the downward speed (or decreases the upward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.

21.2/9.8 = 2.2 seconds
