Uphill escape ramps are sometimes provided to the side of steep downhill highways for trucks with overheated brakes. for a simple 14 â upward ramp, what minimum length would be needed for a runaway truck traveling 130 km/h ?

Uphill escape is designed to provide a safe braking system

In this type of uphill system when truck use it, the truck will be stopped due to action of gravity

In this system we can say the acceleration due to gravity along the inclined is given as

now due to this acceleration we can say the truck will stop after traveling distance "d"

now the initial speed of the truck is 130 km/h

now we can use kinematics

so the length of inclined plane will be 271.7 m

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
