An action movie stunt requires the motorcycle rider to jump over a few school buses. He

rides off a horizontal platform at 25 m/s, over the buses below him, then lands on a ramp

sloping down at 30 degrees. No bouncing can take place when he hits the landing ramp

because it could cause him to lose control and crash. Where should the landing ramp be

placed (i.e. how far from the edge of the launching platform should the front edge of the

landing ramp be horizontally and how far below it), so that the motorcyclist lands right

on the front edge of the ramp with no bounce? The bouncing can be avoided if the

motorcyclist's

velocity is parallel to the ramp as he touches down (the ramp is tangent to

his trajectory). Assume that the friction with air is negligible.
