A car drives over a hill in the roadway and then off the top of a H- 50-m tall cliff (see Figure 16.1). The speed of the car is such that, when it crests the top of the hill, the normal force on the car from the roadway goes to zero. The car drives horizontally off the cliff at this speed. How far from the base of the cliff (x) does the car hit the ground? Assume the hill has a circular radius of curvature of R + 35 m.
