**Physics Problem: Projectile Motion**A daredevil drove his motorcycle up an incline at a 40-degree angle with the horizontal and drove off the end of the incline at 22 m/s, 12 meters above the ground. How fast was he (magnitude of total velocity) when he landed?---**Solution Explanation:**To solve this problem, we need to apply the principles of projectile motion. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to calculate the magnitude of the velocity when the daredevil lands.1. **Decompose the Initial Velocity:** - **Horizontal Component (Vx):** \[ Vx = V \cos(\theta) = 22 \, m/s \cdot \cos(40^{\circ}) \] \[ Vx \approx 16.85 \, m/s \] - **Vertical Component (Vy):** \[ Vy = V \sin(\theta) = 22 \, m/s \cdot \sin(40^{\circ}) \] \[ Vy \approx 14.14 \, m/s \]2. **Calculate the Time of Flight (t):** - Using the equation for vertical displacement under gravity: \[ y = Vy \cdot t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] Here, \( y = -12 \, m \) (since the daredevil lands 12 meters below the takeoff point), and \( g = 9.8 \, m/s^2 \). Rearrange and solve the quadratic equation for \( t \): \[ -12 = 14.14 \, t - 4.9 \, t^2 \] Solving this quadratic equation gives \( t \approx 3.67 \, s \).3. **Calculate the Final Vertical Velocity (Vy_final) just before landing:** - Using the equation of motion: \[ Vy_{final} = Vy + gt \] \[ Vy_{final} = 14.14 - 9.8 \times 3.67 \] \[ Vy_{final} \approx -21.76 \, m/s \]4. **Calculate the Magnitude of the Total Velocity:** -
