G = 6.67x 10-IN-m /kg, 1in = 2.54 cm, 1 m= 100 cm, 1 ft = 12 in, 1 km = 1000 m. 1 mile = 5,280 ft, 1 hr = 3,600 s 1. A tractor-trailer (truck) is driving down a steep incline when the driver realizes that there is a problem with the brakes (olh no!). Luckily the driver reaches a runaway truck ramp on the side of the road. The ramp goes up the side of a mountain that has an incline of 34. The truck has a mass of 35,000 kg and is traveling at a speed of 31.0 m/s when it enters the bottom of the runaway truck ramp (the truck is in neutral). (a) First, imagine that the the brakes fail completely and no energy is lost due to friction as the truck goes up the ramp. what distance along the ramp would the truck travel before coming to a stop?
