Lawson Morton · Answer 1

The formula is:v² = v i² + 2 a dwhere: v = 0 m/s (the truck stopped), d = 55 m and v i = 25 m/s. 0² = 25² + 2 a · 55110 a = - 625 (negative sign, because the velocity of truck is decreasing)

a = u g110 u · 9.81 = 625u = 625 : 1,079.1 = 0.580.58 < 0.60Answer:The antiques will not slide.
