You're playing a cartoony racing video game, with a character on a motorcycle. You drive your character off a ledge at 15 m/s. The next ledge for the character's bike to land on is 25 m away (horizontally) and 12 m below. Assume the video game has realistic physics coded into it, except that acceleration due to gravity is only 8.0 m/s^2. a) will your character land on the next platform? b) whether they land or not, find their velocity (magnitude and direction) as they either land on or pass through the 12 m below position.
6. A frictionless cart sits on a ramp that is tilted down at an angle of 30.0° from horizontal. The cart is released from rest, with an initial position of * = [0 m] + [0.500 mlj It rolls down the ramp (down and to the right) once it is released, and it's acceleration points down the ramp, parallel to the ramp, with a magnitude of 4.90 m/s². Use a coordinate system where up is +y and to the right is +x. a. What are the x- and y-components of the cart's initial velocity? b. What are the x- and y-components of the cart's acceleration? c. Use your answers to parts a and b to find the cart's position and velocity 1.50 seconds after it is released. Write your answers in unit vector notation.
