Homework Statement
A stunt man drives a car at a speed 20m/s off a 30m high cliff. The road leading to the cliff is inclined upward at an angle of 20 degrees.
How far from the base of the cliff does the car land?
What is the car's impact speed?
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought of just doing some old fashion R = V initial ^2 sin 2 alpha/g
since V = dx/dt
dt = dx/V
=30/ Sin alpha
now that I know dt y multiply by v cos alpha to then add it to R.
Apparently I'm wrong, could someone help me?
