Question:
You are planning to make a jump with your motorcycle by driving over a ramp that will launch you at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. The front edge of the ramp on which you are supposed to land, however, is 25.0 ft lower than the edge of the launch ramp (i.e., your launch height).
(a) Assuming a launch speed of 65 mph, at what horizontal distance from your launch point should the landing ramp be placed?
(b) In order to land smoothly, the angle of the landing ramp should match the direction of your velocity vector when you touch down. What should be the angle of the landing ramp?
