b. 180 feet

Explanation:

Images attached to show working.

a. You have the position of the truck so you integrate twice. Use the formula and plug in the time t = 7 sec. Check out uniform acceleration. The time at which the truck's velocity is zero  is when it stops.

b. Determine the initial speed. Plug in the time calculated in the previous step. From this we can observe that the truck comes to a stop before the end of the ramp.
