Maximizing Projectile Range: Motorcycle Daredevil Bus Jump
Got it! I set up a table of values for displacement of y=0, a=-9.8, Vo=10.35 and used the equation y=volt+1/2a * (t squared) and plugged t into the equation Voxt=R and divided it by 2.74 = 24 buses- gsr_4life

A motorcycle daredevil is attempting to jump across as many buses as possible. The takeoff ramp makes an angle of 18.0 degrees above the horizontal, and the landing ramp is identical to the takeoff ramp. The buses are parked side by side, and each bus is 2.74m wide. The cyclist leaves the ramp...- gsr_4life
