In a scene from a television show, a van rolls down an incline and off a vertical cliff, falling into a valley below. The van starts from rest and rolls down the incline, which makes an angle of 19.0° below the horizontal, with a constant acceleration of 3.06 m/s2. After rolling down the incline a distance of 55.0 m, it reaches the edge of the cliff, which is 40.0 m above ground level.

(a) How much time (in s) does it take the van to fall from the edge of the cliff to the landing point?

_______s

b) At the point where the van crashes into the ground, how far is it horizontally from the edge of the cliff (in m)?

____________m

A ball rolls down from the top of an incline with a height of 5 m high without slipping. The ball has a diameter of 0.2m. What are the ball’s translational speeds a) at the center of the ball, b) at the contact point on the ground, and c) at the top of the ball when it arrives at the bottom? What values of "c" do you expect for hollow/solid balls? Will the hollow ball be faster?
