A student is late for a test! She takes her motorcycle to get to school, but sees that a bridge on the way is washed out. She
decides to try leaping it with her motorcycle. The side the motorcycle is on is 18.2 m above the river, whereas the opposite side
is a mere 8.10 m above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 26.0 m wide.
How fast must she be going to make it safely across? Use projectile motion, and assume the initial speed is purely horizontal.

- A Canon launches a target at 40°. My distance of the x value is 4.60m. My distance for the y value is 1.1670 meters. The distance total is 4.746 meters. The problem is asking me to figure out the time of the object in air.I don't have velocity, I know the velocity initial is more than 0 and that the velocity final is zero. If I want to find time, I would need to use a vector diagram of velocity and use the resultant as my velocity. However, I have no idea what the velocity of Y or velocity of X. I only know that the velocity of X is in equilibrium and is constant as well as knowing that velocity final is zero. Oh yeah also velocity initial is velocity of the x value.arrow_forwardA ferryboat has a still water speed of 10.3 km/hr.
