Question

(III) A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3–41). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that “takeoff angle” is \(7.0^{\circ}\) above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (III) A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3–41). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that “takeoff angle” is \(7.0^{\circ}\) above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?
From the textbook chapter Kinematics in Two Dimensions; Vectors you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
