A runaway truck (truck with no brakes) traveling 45 m/s leaves the highway and enters the runaway ramp where the truck will be slowed due to soft sand that it is made of. If the sand slows the truck at -2.00 , how long,( distance), must the ramp be in order stop the truck?

Answer 1

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a*d = 0
45^2 + 2*(-2)d = 0
d = ___ m.
