An object is propelled off of a platform that is 75 feet high at a speed of 45 feet per second (ft./s). The height of the object off the ground is given by the formula h(t) = - 16t+45t+75, where h(t) is the object's height at time (t) seconds after the -16 object is propelled.

Be sure to apply a model from this class and include the relevant diagram(s) for that model. And don’t forget to use the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework to present your solution. Phenomenon: Runaway Truck Ramp A truck was driving on a highway at 30 m/s when its brakes gave out. The driver steered it onto a “runaway truck ramp”, consisting of an upward ramp (rising 12 meters vertically over 120 meters horizontally), and ending with a compressible barrier which you can model as a giant spring with spring constant “k”. The compressible barrier can be compressed by a maximum 0.5 meters before it stops working. Graphic attached Values: Mass of the truck: 20 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000kg). Mass of the driver: Choose a reasonable value. Truck Ramp Dimensions: 12 meters vertical, 120 meters horizontal Spring constant k= 6.0 x 107 J/m2.

In presenting solution, it should be in the same sequence as the asked problem. Avoid too many erasures (to prevent this, solve first in a scratch paper and after finalizing, transfer it to the final paper for submission). Box your final answer with appropriate units. Retain 3 decimal places for intermediate value calculation. Not following instruction means a corresponding point deduction. 1.
