Question

Transcribed Image Text:After seeing a giant rock rolls into the highway, the driver slams on the brake and steers the truck onto an
emergency escape ramp. The angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 0 = 15.0', and the magnitude of the
velocity i of the truck is 30.0 m/s right after entering the ramp. If the coefficient of kinetic friction µk (for the
ramp) 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 (not
rolling).
*Include a free body diagram to solve this problem.

- 11.) A 65.0-kg file cabinet of is sliding down a rough ramp for a distance of 5.00 m as shown. The friction force on the box is 75.0 N. During this process, what is the work done on the cabinet by the normal force, in Joule? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive.
