A car is parked on a steep incline overlooking the ocean, where the incline makes an angle of 37.0° below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the parking brakes are defective. Starting from rest at t =0, the car rolls down the incline with a constant acceleration of 4.00 m/s2, traveling 50.0 m to the edge of a vertical cliff. The cliff is 30.0 m above the ocean. Find
(a) the speed of the car when it reaches the edge of the cliff and the time at which it arrives there,
(b) the velocity of the car when it lands in the ocean,
(c) the total time interval that the car is in motion, and
