The hill is covered in gravel so that the truck's wheels will slide up the hill instead of rolling up the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the gravel is k. This design has a spring at the top of the ramp that will help to stop the trucks. This spring is located at height h. The spring will compress until the truck stops, and then a latch will keep the spring from decompressing (stretching back out). The spring can compress a maximum distance x because of the latching mechanism. Your job is to determine how strong the spring must be. In other words, you need to find the spring constant so that a truck of mass mt, moving at an initial speed of v0, will be stopped. For this problem, it is easiest to define the system such that it contains everything: Earth, hill, truck, gravel, spring, etc. In all of the following questions, the initial configuration is the truck moving with a speed of v0 on the level ground, and the final configuration is the truck stopped on the hill with the spring compressed by an amount x. The truck is still in contact with the spring. Solve all of the questions algebraically first. Then use the following values to get a number for the desired answer.

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
