A BMX biker wanted to impress his family by catching some air( aka leaving the ground) while riding over a hill in Tennesse with a radius of curvature of 7.6m. If the BMX biker rides over the hill at 11.2 m/s, will she catch some air and excitee her family?
B) What is the minimum speed the biker has to travel in order to leave the ground when cresting the hill?
