Question

Please refer to the attached picturs of the problem statement. I have solved a, b, c, and g using kinematics and Newton's Second Law. I'm not sure how to answer d, e and f however.  My answers are:

a) aT=v0/ts

b) ac/t=mu(g)+v0/ts

c)truck stops before crate

d) unsure

e) unsure

f) unsure

g) mu=[(aTts)2]/[2d0-2v0ts-aTts2]

mu=[aTv02]/[g(2d0aT-3v02)]

A truck carries a crate which can slide. Suppose that the truck and the crate are
initially traveling to the right with velocity Vo, and the distance between the front
of the crate and the front of the trailer given as do. The brakes are applied so that
the truck decelerates with constant acceleration and stops in time t

to the truck. The coefficient of friction (static and dynamic) is μ. write the equations of motion
of the crate, then express the relative acceleration of the crate with respect to the truck acr
before and after the truck stops. Express it in terms of given quantities (initial velocity vo

amount of sliding: Which stops first, truck or the crate? Why?
