Thanks Gordianus. Ultimately, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to calculate the maximum acceleration that an escape ramp will apply to any truck that enters it - real world truck and ramp. My physics/math knowledge is a little limited - I understand the formulae, it's picking the...

Thank you all for your replies. I thought I was going to need either the time or distance.

Is there a way to calculate the acceleration (in g's) applied to a truck as it is stopped in a runaway escape ramp? Do I need to know how long it takes or how far it goes in the ramp to calculate the acceleration?
