After seeing a giant rock rolls into the highway, the driver slams on the brake and steers the truck onto anemergency escape ramp. The angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 0 = 15.0', and the magnitude of thevelocity i of the truck is 30.0 m/s right after entering the ramp. If the coefficient of kinetic friction µk (for theramp) is 0.720, then how far along the ramp does the truck travel until it stops?*Use work-energy theorem to answer this question and assumed that the wheels of the truck are locked (notrolling).*Include a free body diagram to solve this problem.

Given:- The angle of the ramp in which it inclined θ= 15° The velocity of the truck at the starting…

At the scene of an accident, two traffic experts appear to determine which of the drivers was at fault considering that it was a highway where the speed limit is 80 km / h. The data collected in the field indicate that the vehicles stuck and skidded together a length of 25 m on the pavement whose dynamic friction coefficient is μk = 0.30. Considering that the masses of vehicles A and B are 2300 kg and 1500 kg, respectively, specify which of the cars was speeding at the moment of impact and by how much it exceeded the speed limit. Express your result in km / h for the purposes of the expertise.
