A stuntman drives a car at a speed of 20m/s off a 28 m high cliff. The road leading to the cliff is inclined upward at an angle of 20 degree.
A) How far from the bees of the cliff does the car land?
B) What is the car's impact speed?
write everything specifically please
A) Let the car land a distance of d from the bees of the cliff.
The initial speed of the car is u=20 m/s.
The incline angle is 20o.
The height of the cliff h=-28 m.
Let the horizontal component of the car's speed is vx.
The verticle component of the car's speed is vy.
The verticle acceleration is -g.
Now we know
Note: The negative value of t is ignored because of time always positive.
The horizontal distance covered by the car is
b) Let the impact speed of the car is vi.
The initial speed of the vertical component is vy.
The final speed of the verticle component is
The impact speed of the car is
The impact speed of the car is 30.815958 m/s or 30.82 m/s approximately.
