Read the question carefully ang give me the complete right solution with clear steps. 

 

The minivan pictured above has a weight of 2,700 kg and has an initial speed of
15 km/hr. If the driving force acting on the van is FD = (500t²) N which acts on
the minivan for 4 seconds determine the velocity of the minivan after that time.
You must use momentum and impulse to solve the above portion of this problem.
• Plot twist: at the end of the 4 second time period the minivan drives off a
100 m tall cliff. Determine how long it will take for the minivan to strike
the ground and the distance that it will land from the edge of the cliff.
