Question
Here you are designing a motorcycle stunt where the motorcycle leaves a ramp at an angle θ and lands
on another ramp of the same height. You need to know where to place the second ramp. You will
make a mathema1cal model to predict the range (i.e., to predict how far the motorcycle will land from
the first ramp).
![Sketch of situation:
Vo
-R-
In the sketch above, is the vertical displacement of the motorcycle up, down, or zero?
Does the motorcycle leave the ramp at an angle? (Yes/No)
At the moment of launch -the instant when the motorcycle leaves the ramp: is the
vertical component of the motorcycle's velocity (voy) up, down, or zero?
After launch while the motorcycle flies through the air, is the vertical acceleration of
the motorcycle to the up, to the down or zero?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F07829d21-2cb7-463b-a474-82c570be08a7%2F1827bfe3-204a-4f02-afe7-c76ade6bd145%2Fvyr2z8d_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
