Presume a rocket-propelled motorcycle is fired from rest horizontally across a canyon 1.10 km wide.
1. What minimum constant acceleration in the x-direction should be provided by the engines so the cycle crosses safely if the opposite side is 0.760 km lower than the starting point?
m/s2
2. At what speed does the motorcycle land if it maintains this constant horizontal component of acceleration? Neglect air drag, however remember that gravity is still acting in the negative y-direction.
m/s
