Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highways to enable vehicles with defective brakes to stop safely. A truck enters a 750-ft ramp at a high speed v0 and travels 540 ft in 6 s at constant deceleration before its speed is reduced to v0/2. Assuming the same constant deceleration, determine (a) the additional time required for the truck to stop, (b) the additional distance traveled by the truck.
