Anyone else care to help on a different problem?

I'm sorry, I don't know. It seems like we're going in circles. I'm looking at this stuff and d is the only number I have. Everything else is equal to other thigns I don't know. Like T, I understand that t = -v/g, but how do I get v? is g just 9.8?

okay yea, I follow.

That it will be 0.

ahh, I don't know. I don't get it. I don't understand how I can do that without knowing the velocity. What is that t?

Yea. So d = 102. I still don't see how we get that v though.

Is it 102.5 meters? Two 50m gaps and the 2.5 at the end?

I guess I'm confused. The problem asks what speed the rider needs to go so how do we determine velocity if we don't know how fast he'll be going?

I'm sorry, I don't get it. Is V an actual number I'm missing? Thank you for being so patient.

Well, I know the Sin of 37 is .6 and the Cos is .8, but what is H and V?

would it be h_y = h\cos\theta

Ohhh okay yea, I follow. Sorry I'm blonde.

Hmm...so you mean how fast and how high?

Unfortunately, no. I'm a great notetaker and there's not an S or U anywhere here.

I only have these ones in my notes: Vfinal^2 = Vinitial^2 + 2 * a * d Vfinal = Vinitial + a * t
