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.
