stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars arked side by side below a horizontal ramp (the figure). Figure 1) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. Express your answer using two significant figures and include the appropriate units. V0 = 40 m S

Question
If the ramp is now tilted upward so that “takeoff angle” is now 7.0 degrees above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?

Transcribed Image Text:A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars
parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (the figure).
Figure 1)
With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of
the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m.
Express your answer using two significant figures and include the appropriate
units.
Vo = 40
m
S
Expert Solution

Step 1: Ramp is tilted to 7 degree. Vertical height is 1.5m
The horizontal speed distance is x = 22 m
The vertical distance is y=- 1.5 m below the ramp.
The time taken by the car is t.
angle of inclination = 7 degree.
