A Hollywood daredevil plans to jump the canyon shown in the figure on a motorcycle. There is a 15. m drop and the horizontal distance originally planned was 60 m. however it turns out the canyon is really 69.6 m across.
1. What is his correct launch speed?
2. What is his predicted landing velocity? (Neglect air resistance.)
3. What is the correct angle for his landing ramp (give a positive angle below the horizontal)?
4. If he desires a 2.9-second flight time, what is the correct angle for his launch ramp (deg)?
