Phenomenon: Runaway Truck Ramp A truck was driving on a highway at 30 m/s when its brakes gave out. The driver steered it onto a “runaway truck ramp”, consisting of an upward ramp (rising 12 meters vertically over 120 meters horizontally), and ending with a compressible barrier which you can model as a giant spring with spring constant “k”. The compressible barrier can be compressed by a maximum 0.5 meters before it stops working. Graphic attached Values: Mass of the truck: 20 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000kg). Mass of the driver: Choose a reasonable value. Truck Ramp Dimensions: 12 meters vertical, 120 meters horizontal Spring constant k= 6.0 x 107 J/m2. Part 1: Big…arrow_forward
