Question
Speed (km/h)
Height (m)
D (m)?
Part 1: (horizontal projectile)
A car traveling at 86.0 km/h goes straight over a cliff that is a height of 15.7 m.
Calculate how far from the base of the cliff (ie. distance D) that the car lands.
Part 2: (braking & horizontal projectile)
A stunt car driver, travelling at 86.0 km/h, notices that he is heading directly for a
cliff! When he is 23.6 m away from the edge, he applies the brakes and
experiences a backward acceleration of 6.80 m/s?, but it is not enough! The car
goes over the cliff! If the cliff is 15.7 m high, then calculate how far the from the
base of the cliff (ie. distance D) that the car lands.
