Truck brakes can fail if they get too hot. In some mountainous areas, ramps of loose gravel are constructed to stop runaway truc

ks that have lost their brakes. The combination of a slight upward slope and a large coefficient of rolling friction as the truck tires sink into the gravel brings the truck safely to a halt. Suppose a gravel ramp slopes upward at 6.0∘ and the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.30. How long the ramp should be to stop a truck of 15000 kg having a speed of 35 m/s.

Kinetic engery = -1/2mv^2

Work = Fd

Combine:

-1/2mv^2 - Fd = 0

-1/2mv^2 = (0.30*15000*9.81*cos(6))d = 0

Multiply both sides by 2:

v^2 = 2d(0.30*9.81*cos(6))

Solve for d:

d=v^2 / 2(0.30*9.81*cos96))

v = speed:

d = 35^2 / 2*0.30 * 9.81 * cos(6)

d = 1225 / 5.85376

d = 209.27 meters. Round answer as needed.

The volume of a rectangular prism is 2,058cm. The Length of the prism is 3 times the width. The height is twice the width. Find
Nat2105 [25]

v = l x w x h

v = 2058

width = x

height = 2x

length = 3x


2058 = 3x*2x*x =

2058 = 6x^3=

343 = x^3

x = 7

2*7 = 14

3*7 = 21

21*14*7 = 2058
