In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
A cart starting from rest at a height of 1.00 m above a tabletop can roll down two different ramps—one that goes in a straight line from A to B at a 15º incline, and one that descends at a 30º incline from A and is then level until B. Calculate the time it takes for the car to get from A to B along each ramp. The answers are 1.74 s and 1.35 s. I need help on some of the steps

Ih took Joseph 30 minutes longer to drive 375 km from along the north shore of a river from Apex to Rounder than it took to return along the south shore, a distance of 420 km. On the retum trip the highway was wider and in better condiftion, so he was able to average 10 km/h faster. What was his average speed on cach part of the trip?
In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?

Starting at the island of Moi in an unknown archipelago, a fishing boat makes a round trip with two stops at the islands of Noi and Poi. It sails from Moi for 4.76 nautical miles (nmi) in a direction 37 north of east to Noi. From Noi, it sails 69 west of north to Poi. On its return leg from Poi, it sails 28 east of south. What distance does the boat sail between Noi and Poi? What distance does it sail between Moi and Poi? Express your answer both in nautical miles and in kilometei. Note: 1 nmi = 1852m.
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
